Just upgraded to RH7.1 from 7.0 and am having a problem accessing my CDROMS. All had been well under 7.0, When I execute mount /mnt/cdrom (or cdrom1, my burner, I get this message: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom, or too many mounted file systems (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?) My impression, based on what follows, is that the 2.4.2 kernel directly implements scsi emulation for ide devices, but perhaps a lister will know this for sure? I had previously modified my lilo.conf and modules.conf to make cdrecord work properly. The entries which follow reflect this. Herewith the particulars: (my appologies for the length) Kernel 2.4.2-2 My lilo.conf: boot=/dev/hdb5 map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 default=linux message=/boot/message linear image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.2-2 label=linux read-only root=/dev/hda6 append="hdd=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi" other=/dev/hda1 label=Windows98 My fstab: /dev/hda6 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hdb5 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda7 /home ext2 defaults 1 2 dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ext2 owner,exec,dev,suid,rw,noauto 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/vfat vfat user,owner,exec,dev,suid,rw,conv=auto,uid=500,gid=500,auto 1 2 # Next line added 6/24 to automount the Win D Drive /dev/hdb1 /mnt/ddrive vfat user,owner,exec,dev,suid,rw,conv=auto,uid=500,gid=500,auto 1 2 # 4/22 changed cdrom1 to match cdrom exactly and # changed vfat fs passnoo from 1 to 2, per fstab man page. # 5/18 Changed vfat permission from w to rw.
