          I need help with a problem.  This is my "learning" system - an Athlon 64 on an ABIT NV-8 mb, 1gb main memory, two HDDs in removable drawers, and a DVD/CD reader/writer and a CD reader/writer.  This is Kanotix64 2005-04-lite, which installed without problems on my hdd.  However, when I attempt to read a CD, the CD is recognized and an icon appears on the desk top, but attempting to mount it gives an error code:
 
 
     mount: can't find /dev/hdc in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
 
     Please check that the disk is entered correctly.
 
 
fstab is as follows:
 
 
     # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
 
     #
 
     # <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
 
      proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
 
     usbfs           /proc/bus/usb   usbfs   devmode=0666    0       0
 
     /dev/hda1       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
 
     /dev/hda6       /home           ext3    defaults        0       2
 
     /dev/hda5       none            swap    sw              0       0
 
     /dev/cdrom      /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
 
     /dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0
 
 
Apparently my optical drives are not being recognized correctly.  How do I fix this?  Can I make some changes to fstab, and if so how?
 
 
Your help would be appreciated.

          RHI,
 
mount is looking for hdc, fstab has cdrom. that wont work.
 
if you change /dev/cdrom to /dev/hdc in fstab, things will work.

          devil,
 
   Thanks.  I did as you suggested and things seem to work now.  This suggests another question - Why did Kanotix64 2005-04 not set up this table correctly?

          good question, it seems to be an udev issue and i had it before.
 
after the new naming sheme it should be as it was in fstab: /dev/cdrom. so kanotix did it according to the rules, but udev decided to use /dev/hdc.

          devil,
 
   Another follow-on question.  My first optical drive, CDROM0, is a DVD/CD reader/writer.  Should this be described differently in fstab?

          that should be /dev/hdd then. in /media you could create a dir named dvd for it if you want to with mkdir /media/dvd or whatever suits you as name. that has to go into fstab as: /dev/hdd  /media/dvd then
