mounting a CDRW on gentoo...

[DimGR]

i managed to mount my CD-ROM but the CDRW is giving me problems


dmesg |grep CD
hdc: CDU5211, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdd: Memorex 52MAXX 2452AJ, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdc: ATAPI 52X CD-ROM drive, 120kB Cache, UDMA(33)
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12


i have the cdrw pointing at /hdd but i get an error not a block device.

these are the fstab lines

/dev/hdc /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdd /cdrom1 iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto 0 0

Did you try any forum searches before posting?

Lots of same/similiar problems in these JL forum search results for 'cdrom mount valid block device' (http://justlinux.com/forum/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=969128&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending).

are you sure it's a cdrom and not a dvd? a dvd would have filesystem type udf. Make sure you have support for udf and iso9660 in your kernel.
