Knoppix is very nice, but I forced to switch back to win xp

[baldyeti]

To try zerwekh's suggestion:

su <type password; ->prompt changes to '#'>
dmesg | more

look for the device for your cdrom - but it very likely is sr0 with a 2.6.x kernel - might be /dev/hdc without SCSi emulation...
then try mounting "mount -r /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom" (still as root)

good luck...

Try a different linux distro. Mandrake or red hat are pretty cool. Kanotix is the one I choose and is awesome.

Hi, I'm on hd install and i have no problems with my cdrom and dvd drive until yesterday.

Simply the error display to me is that doesn 't exists. I've tried all comands I've read but don't works:

This is what i get when I use dmesg:
hdc: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-M1712, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdd: SONY CD-RW CRX225E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive

hdc: attached ide-scsi driver.

/dev/sr1: Error de entrada/salida


sudo mount /dev/hdd /cdrom1
/dev/hdd: Error de entrada/salida
mount: debe especificar el tipo de sistema de ficheros

I've tried to change /etc/fstab but the error message is the same


I don't know which can be the problem cos I can burn cds with hdd dispositive and k3b (k3b recognise the cdrom)

Thanks

my cdrom stopped working after 3.7 hdd install.

this command fixed it for me

mount -r /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom

good luck all.
