Okay this is really wierd. I prelinked my system, and now my computer doesn't recognize regular CD's. I have a dvd drive and a cdrw. It reads dvd's fine, but it won't mount anything other than a dvd. The cdrw wont mount anything...

I did a:

prelink -ua

After this occured to see if that would fix the problem. Nothing, the cdroms still don't mount regular music/file cd's. Nothing was modified in my fstab, and everything was working before the prelink....

Any ideas? Thanks!

I didn't think it was prelink either, but it was the last thing I've done.

In Gnome, I get:

"Nautilus was unable to mount the volume. There is probably no media in the device"

beings as that isn't to helpful....

Mounting at the command line yields:

Code:

$mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom1
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdroms/cdrom1,
       or too many mounted file systems



my fstab has the entry:
Code:
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1  /mnt/cdrom  iso9660   noauto,user,ro  0 0



Thanks for any help you can offer!

Code:

$mdkir -p /mnt/try
$mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/try
mount: block device /dev/cdroms/cdrom1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdroms/cdrom1,
       or too many mounted file systems


Told you this was wierd.....

It can't be the drive, because it does the same thing for my cdrw AND dvd drives.... But the DVD drive mounts dvds at least......

And I do have iso9660 in my kernel....(Obviously since DVD's mount....)

I have decent experience using linux, as it is my primary OS, and this boggles me...

Thanks for the help!

I noticed that there is one other discussion about this issue. Another user is having an issue with geting the cdroms to work. Unfortunately, nobody has been able to help yet. Anybody have any ideas?

I have checked my fstab, and everything works except for mounting music cd's or regular Joliet filesystem cd's (but my dvd drive will still mount DVD's...??). I have checked to make sure the cd's aren't scratched, and I have recompiled my kernel (2.4.20-r2 vanilla). I am going to try another kernel.

Does anybody have any ideas why my cdrom's won't mount??

I am having this same exact problem. I'm not trying to burn CDs, or anything. I just want it to read the cds.

It gives me the same exact error.

Nobody has seemed to be able to help us. I am going to do a full install from stage 1 once school is out.

Let me ask you a question though... Have you done an:

Code:

emerge --update system


lately? That was the absolute last thing I did before this started happening. Once we can collaborate on some similar incidents I will submit a bug report...

I was having the same problem, till I read this post on 'hardware & laptops', march 19/03. It says that music cd's cant be mounted as file systems, you need to use a 'music browser/player' I guess.[/list]
