I did what you suggested, i.e., manually mount the CDROM with:

# mount /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom

and I got the following:

/dev/hdd: Input/output error
mount: block device /dev/hdd is write-protected, mounting read-only
/dev/hdd: Input/output error
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

By the way, # ls /mnt

shows me:
cdrom  cdrw  floppy

As of right now, I am going to stop messing with it so as to limit the
number of variables. I will gladly provide one and all any information
necessary to further troubleshoot this.

Thank you.

    Subject: next question on kernels -- the config files
    Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    
    
      some of this has come up before, but i wanted to make dead
    sure i got it right.
    
      occasionally, someone asks "where is the config file for
    the currently running kernel?", and the answer is that a
    number of config files reside in the kernel directory
    /usr/src/linux-???/configs.  you just have to choose the
    one that corresponds to how your machine was installed.
    
      but there are more config files than prebuilt binary
    kernel RPMs, which leads one to ask:
    
       1) for the config files that appear to match a binary
       kernel RPM, is this *exactly* the config file that
       was used to build the corresponding RPM?
    
       2) what are the other config files for?  just suggestions
       or starting points if someone wants help getting going?
    
      i've also noticed the config file .../arch/i386/defconfig
    in the kernel source directory.  what does this represent?
    it's part of the actual kernel-source RPM, so i would guess
    it's the config file to be used for a kernel configuration
    if there is no .config file.  is that correct?
    
      and finally, for those who hadn't noticed, there is a
    kernel config option to actually build the config file 
    into the new kernel itself.  that config file can (allegedly)
    be extracted with the script .../scripts/extract-ikconfig,
    again in the kernel source directory.  (i say "allegedly"
    since i bugzilla'ed it once for not working, and i'm just
    about to check if it's better).

    one thing you could look at is mounting by hand from the console.
    
    First check that /mnt/cdrom and /mnt/cdrw exist ( ls /mnt )
    if they do then just try the basic 
    
    #> mount /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom
    #> mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrw
    
    see if that works. We are all assuming that hdd, and hdc are the devices
    in the dev folder, but that may not be true. Can you give a listing of
    Dmesg??
    
    #> dmesg (at the console prompt
    
    Have a good one

    RedHat is trying to make money.
    I don't disparage RedHat for what they are doing.
    They are not being "bad" or "evil" or anything like that....
    No one should be expected to give things away for free.
    
    For my personal uses of RedHat, (my home firewall and PC)
    it is no big deal to upgrade my boxes to a new version once a year
    or so.  And I couldn't afford buying Windows 2000/XP and all the
    software to set up firewalling/DHCP Cacheing DNS, Web Server, Mail
    Server, Security programs, VPN services...  
       ((( Not to mention the problems with consistency, stability
        and PRIVACY/FREEDOM )))
    
     I also would find
    it expensive to pay about $800/yr to have AS on my boxes...
    Also it would cramp my style to not have something closer to 
    the latest and greatest versions of toys that the 'base' distributions
    offer.
    Heck I usually have upgraded my personal boxes more than once
    every 18 months anyway. I used to use Slackware in the
    old days, but security wasn't as much of a concern back then.
    The last few years I have skipped 7.0 and 7.1 went
    straight from 6.2 to 7.2, then skipped 7.3 on my firewall and 
    went to 8.0 just last month.  I upgraded my workstation from 7.3
    to 8.0 in one day. (Yesterday)
    
    Professionally it is a total different equation...
    It is not practical to migrate our Web Services, NMS systems and 
    database applications to new versions of PHP/PERL/Apache/libc/binutils
    and it is not feasible to ignore known security 
    vulnerabilities in servers that are used for business.
    
    So what are the options? How do we cope with this?
    
    If we only had a few servers (1-10) I would say that the Cost-Benefit
    comparison of RH Advanced Server when compared to Solaris/HP-UX/Win with
    the corresponding lock-ins of HW/SW and/or the TCO of possibly
    maintaining our own tarball'd dists of Open Source packages for Solaris
    or HP (or dealing with the variable quality of the packages from 
        Sunfreeware/HPPD, or the stability/support/security of Windows)
    would still favor RH Advanced Server at a cost of 700-800 per year for
    support.
    
    However when we are talking about 30-50 servers that we need to keep
    up2date and maintained, then the economy of scale kicks in, and RedHat
    can't have their cake and eat it too.  RedHat,  *MUST* continue (AFAIK)
    to distribute the SOURCE RPM's for the bundled binary RPM's of Open
    Source packages that they ship out with Advanced server.
    
    So, with 30-50 servers to maintain we will probably start maintaining
    our own RH Advanced Server "rpbbuild" box.  Where we keep downloading
    and building Source RPM's as they are released, and with SSH and shared
    keys we will be able (with a little scripting) to make a secure package
    distribution system that will be a lot more work than up2date and rhn,
    but worth less than 30 X 800 $/year
    
    I explained to my RedHat Salesman that if we could pay for Advanced 
    Server in a way that reflected our alternative cost of scale....
    
        full price for servers 1-5
        80% for servers 5-10
        70% for servers 10-15
        60% for servers 15-20
        50% for servers 20-25   
        and 40% for all servers over 25
    
    That we would definitely buy and maintain support contracts on all 
    our Linux Servers that we need RedHat advanced server on.
    
    This makes sense for RedHat to do as well.  Because the cost of doing
    good quality testing and packaging is fixed.  After they make the 
    updates for Advanced server packages they are only paying for bandwidth.
    And even that doesn't scale linearly, because most people with more than
    a dozen servers will have a caching proxy server and with GPG key
    checking on the packages and UseNOSSLForPackages turned on in up2date
    I only download the packages once per office site.
    
    I think that RedHat will probably do that...
    If they don't, then I will be building a set of scripts to distribute
    my rpmbuild'd Source Rpms that I will download for free from Redhat.
    
    What are the downsides of this??? Well for one, I will have trouble
    getting Support from Dell/Oracle/Veritas/Peregrine Systems/HighDeal
    NetCool...  However I get better support from the user groups for those
    products than I do from the traditional support mechanisms anyway!
    And, when you get to the *tough* support issues that are real bugs or
    problems the "expert" support technicians aren't as by-the-book as the
    on-the-phone help desk guys anyway.  So I don't really see a downside.
    
    -Ben.

    Another answer is to use the config file in:

    Hmm, architecture-dependent defaults? Try:
    
      cd /usr/src/linux-2.4

        What I see in the 7.3 i386 updates directory is this:
    
    [root@canyon i386]# ls *kern*
    glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.16.i386.rpm  kernel-doc-2.4.18-18.7.x.i386.rpm
    kernel-2.4.18-18.7.x.i386.rpm        kernel-doc-2.4.18-19.7.x.i386.rpm
    kernel-2.4.18-19.7.x.i386.rpm        kernel-source-2.4.18-18.7.x.i386.rpm
    kernel-BOOT-2.4.18-18.7.x.i386.rpm   kernel-source-2.4.18-19.7.x.i386.rpm
    kernel-BOOT-2.4.18-19.7.x.i386.rpm
    
        What I have on this 7.3 system is this:
    
    glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.16
    kernel-wlan-ng-0.1.14-4
    kernel-wlan-ng-modules-%{linvers}-0.1.14-4
    kernel-utils-2.4-8.20
    kernel-source-2.4.20-2.2
    kernel-wlan-ng-modules-rh73.5-0.1.14-4
    kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.27-18
    kernel-2.4.18-19.7.x
    
        (The source is from Phoebe trying it out.  I also had 2.4.18-19.7.x
    on there as well - both same result).
    
        What I have now done (or attempted) on this one system with
    no other changes:
    
        2.4.18-5        Builds 2.4.18-5custom successfully.
        2.4.18-18.*     Fails building modules
        2.4.18-19.*     Fails building modules
        2.4.20-2.2      Fails building modules
    
        Generic Builds...
    
        Untared linux-2.4.18.tar.bz2 from redhat/SORUCES directory,
    copied the .config file from the 2.4.18-19.x into the resulting directory.
    "make oldconfig ; make dep bzImage ; make modules" successfully builds
    a complete kernel and modules for 2.4.18.
    
        Untared linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2 from redhat/SORUCES directory,
    copied the .config file from the 2.4.20-2.2 directory into the resulting
    directory.  "make oldconfig ; make dep bzImage ; make modules" successfully
    builds a complete kernel and modules for 2.4.20.
    
        So...
    
        2.4.18-5 builds fine
        2.4.18 generic builds fine
        2.4.20 generic builds fine
    
        2.4.18-18.*     Blows chunks building modules
        2.4.19-19.*     Blows chunks building modules
        2.4.20-2.2      Blows chunks building modules.
    
        All on same system, no other changes.

        No harm from the "make clean".  I'm in that habit since having been
    a kernel developer and driver maintainer from the olden days (0.x days, my
    first distro was SLS).  There never WAS a need for it when building a
    fresh build, anyways, and defeated some of the purpose of "makefiles".
    But, there was a time when the dependencies couldn't be fully trusted so
    I'm in the habit.  I'll just forget about it...
    
        That "make deps" was obviously a typo or it wouldn't have gotten
    even that far!  (No target for "deps" so it would have blown up immediately=
    .)
    
        Only ran "make mrproper" once, so that checks.

        Funny...  That seems to work perfectly fine with the stock kernel
    tarballs.  I know that were WAS a problem with a couple of rev clicks,
    but I haven't seen any problems with it.  But noted and will be double
    checked and verified.

    i'm seeing *exactly* the same thing here -- failure on
    "make modules".  i wasn't going to say anything since i
    figured i must have done *something* wrong, but i
    *completely* re-installed the source tree and tried to 
    build from the default config file, and "make modules"
    still failed.
    
      i'm going to poke around a bit longer, but which
    kernel-source RPM is the preferred one?  the
    2.4.18-19 one?

    He's already noted that he's put the CDRW as secondary master, and the 
    CDROM as secondary slave.  Those are, by definition, /dev/hdc and/dev/hdd, 
    respectively.
