Yes, I do get that: -------------------------- udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVD_ROM_DRD_841B' access_control.file = '/dev/sr0' (string) access_control.grant_local_session = true (bool) block.device = '/dev/sr0' (string) -------------------------- I did actually know /dev/cdrom was a link to /dev/sr0, but I get the same result when trying to mount the latter: -------------------------- [root@alfred tim]# mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom mount: No medium found -------------------------- I guess there may be something wrong with the drive. It's rather ancient. I'll try it in another machine. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
