[RULE] cdrom mount problem

[Graeme Jones]

Here are the errors I forgot to include in my original posting... after the
"mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom" command:
ide-floppy driver 0.99.newide
hdc: ATAPI 8X CD-ROM, ..., DMA
hdc: DMA interrupt recovery
hdc: lost interrupt
hdc: lost interrupt
hdc: timeout waiting for DMA
hdc: timeout waiting for DMA
hdc: (__ide_dma_test_irq) called while not waiting
hdc: lost interrupt
... more lost interrupts
end_request: I/O error, dev 16:00 (hdc)
... repeat of the errors above

  Subject: [RULE] cdrom mount problem


  I installed Redhat 9 on an old Pentium computer using the Slinky
installer.  Everything went fine and I am using Linux now on that old
machine.  I have one problem:  I cannot mount the cdrom, which is odd
because I installed Redhat 9 from the cd... so obviouslly it was able to
mount the cdrom during the installation process (in fact I saw the command
"mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom" during the install).

  Here are the errors I get when I attempt to mount the cdrom:

  I've tried burning a CD on another computer, explicitly specifying the ISO
9660 (level 2) format, and then specifying the "-t iso9660" option in the
mount command line, with the same problem as above.  So it's not a file
system format issue.

  Anybody know why the mount succeeded during the install process, but fails
later after installation?
