Greetings, I have having endless problems with my cdrom drive. I have RedHat 7.2 on a P1 200Mhz. The machine had Mandrake 8.2 installed on it and was working fine. I did the RedHat installation via cdrom. When I try to mount the cdrom I get an error: [root@titania mnt]# mount cdrom/ mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device
My dmesg output gives this about the cdrom before the mount command: hdb: CD-912E/ATK, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive After the first time I try to mount it, I also get this from dmesg: ide-floppy driver 0.97 hdb: driver not present This problems seems to be happening to both my old machines [both P1s] not to any of the new ones [P4, P3]. The strange this is that the installation was actually done from the cdrom. Any ideas what the problem might be? The same cdrom drive is used on both machines. The only difference is the speed [12x & 16x]. Both machines worked flawlessly with Mandrake. The last time I installed RedHat on both machines I used ver 7.0 Regards PP -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
