Hi there.
I have a problem with my Mandrake installation.
I have installed Mandrake 9.1 from the CDs. All the installation process
went
ok.
But after the system rebooted and I have logged in, my dvd-rom drive
Here is my /etc/fstab entry for the dvd-rommount. I opened the mandrake control central and in the hardware section the dvd-rom drive has been detected and the new devfs device associated is /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd but the that dev does not exists.
How can I fix this? Can anyone help me? Thanks

When you say doesn't mount do you mean on the CL. you need to post your /etc/fstab entry for the dvd to check what's happening.

The /dev/hdc device does not exists and the /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/ dir is empty. The dvd-rom drive is the secundary master.
How can I fix this problem?
If your dvd is secondary master them /dev/hdc looks correct as well, assuming you don't want it scsi-emulated.
You do have a /mnt/cdrom in your /mnt drectory ?
If you open a terminal, and put a data disc(shove M9.1 CD3 in) in the drive,
type:
cd /mnt/cdrom ls Mandrake/
mine displays the mandrake CD,
If that does not work, try,
mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom cd /mnt/cdrom ls Mandrake/
If that does not work it suggests to me your dvd doesn't supermount properly for some reason and maybe like me and mine you might need to use automount.In my case my dvd will supermount and work OK on the command line, but not much else reliably.
Maybe others can advise better than me.
