question regarding permissions for /dev/cdrom

[p3nguin]

I was having trouble installing d2 with winex and was told by the support team to make sure that i have my permissions set correctly. I was told that it should look like this:

Code: Select all

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jun 21 16:51 /dev/cdrom -> hdd 

and

Code: Select all

brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 64 Mar 15 2002 /dev/hdd

mine look like this

Code: Select all

 ls -l /dev/cdrom
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           13 Oct  5 01:00 /dev/cdrom -> cdroms/cdrom0
root@nuronet proxy # ls -l /dev/hda
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           32 Oct  5 01:00 /dev/hda -> ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc

This is even after i did what they suggested by chmodding ugo+rw.

My fstab looks like this:

Code: Select all

# <fs>                  <mountpoint>    <type>          <opts>                  <dump/pass>

# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
/dev/hda1               /boot           ext2            noauto,noatime          1 1
/dev/hda3               /               ReiserFS                noatime                 0 0
/dev/hda2               none            swap            sw                      0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0      /mnt/cdrom      iso9660         noauto,ro,user 0 0
proc                    /proc           proc            defaults                0 0

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink). Adding the following
# line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will use almost no
#  memory if not populated with files)

tmpfs                   /dev/shm        tmpfs           defaults                0 0

Im just wondering if everything looks ok or not because I still am unable regardless of how much i try to unmount the d2 install disk after it gets done installing the first disc, so i can put in the second one. It will just tell me that the device is busy so i cannot unmount it.

I was doing it properly to....I opened up a new shell and mounted cd1 then ran

Code: Select all

winex3 -use-pthreads yes /mnt/cdrom/setup.exe.

then I would let it get throught that disc until it asked for the second one. at this point i would close the shell I had opened to mount it with, and open a new one to unmount cd1. But every freaking time it would say device is busy!

It doesnt become unbusy untill i close out of the d2 installer. then it umounts just fine.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know as i would be very happy to see this problem fixed. thansk
