I had installed a version of Knoppix 5.0.1 (beginner) and after the install I didn't have a dvd-rom or cdrom icons on the desktop!? I inserted a dvd-r and the Icon appears but it gives me this error message: Could not mount device. The reported error was: mount: can't find /dev/hdc in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab What happend and what can I do to fix it??? Thanks, Rob

Code: cat /etc/fstab And the output of those 3 commands: Code: ls /dev/hd* Code: ls /dev/sd* Code: ls /dev/sr* __________________ "To express yourself in freedom, you must die to everything of yesterday.

I had just upgraded and the problem is back... as a temporary solution I have to go into Disks admin and enable the DVD-rom every session!?
So if it's still of any help I have posted what you asked before:

Code:

cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
#
# filesystem  mountpoint  type  options  dump  pass
/dev/hda2  /  reiserfs  defaults  0  1

proc  /proc  proc  defaults  0  0
/dev/fd0  /floppy  vfat  defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022  0  0

/dev/dvd /media/dvd  iso9660  defaults,ro,users,noexec,noauto  0  0

/dev/hda1 none swap defaults 0 0

And the output of those 3 commands:

Code:

ls /dev/hd*
/dev/hda  /dev/hda1  /dev/hda2  /dev/hdc

Code:

ls /dev/sd*
ls: /dev/sd*: No such file or directory

Code:

ls /dev/sr*
ls: /dev/sr*: No such file or directory
