mounting cdrom

[Wanderer]

Ok, I'm finally able to boot linux but now I can't get either one of my cdroms to mount properly.
The sytem config says their mounted but I can't read my files. All I get is the following error.
Could not list directory contents
file:/mnt/cdrom

What do you think?

Were you logged on as root?
If not check the permissions on the /mnt/cdrom directory.
Type ls -l. The reason I'm suggesting this is that you might not have read access to this dir if logged on as a user.

To change permissions do the following:
# su
# chmod 666 /mnt/cdrom

This gives the owner, group and users read & write access to the cd-rom. Now try ls to see if a listing of your files appears.

Also, have you checked your /etc/fstab file?

Let me know if these ideas were of any help to you
