Re: Can't see my drives

["grottoBoy rant" <stylerzz@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

My fstab file is set the same, I'm on RH7.2...

During boot, do you see the device recognized.

Anything showing related to /mnt/(dev) that seems funny if you enter the 
command dmesg, or tail /var/log/messages?

Maybe you could doublecheck permissions on the device
ls -l cdrom would show permissions, and should show /dev/cdrom linked to 
/dev/hd*, you can then check permissions on /dev/hd*

On my box brw-rw---- for /dev/hdc
lrwxrwxrwx for /dev/cdrom

later...

I'm having trouble 'seeing' the floppy drive or the CD-ROM.

I'm running RedHat 7.2, in all previous versions I had no trouble reading 
the
floppy or CD-ROM, for example just by going    cd /mnt/cdrom       ls

But now this doesn't work any more.   Doesn't matter whether I'm 'me' or
su root,
cd /mnt/cdrom  and   cd /mnt/floppy   apparently work, but
a following   ls    won't show the files.

mdir   usually seems to work, though.

Nautilus  and Konqueror  show /mnt/cdrom and /mnt/floppy  but not the
contents.     Konq in superuser mode shows a 'CDRom device' but then
gives a message
"Could not mount device
The reported error was
mount:  /dev/cdrom:  unknown device"

On the other hand,  /mnt/dosC  works fine.

/etc/fstab says:
/dev/fd0          /mnt/floppy      auto         noauto,owner,kudzu    0 0
/dev/cdrom      /mnt/cdrom      iso9660    noauto,owner,kudzu,ro   0 0

Any suggestions of what might be wrong?
