Hello, I will appreciate any help on this... I have for testing purposes CentOS 4.7 running on VMWare workstation 6.5, I need to boot the centos virtual machine from the cdrom in order to test an upgrade to an upper centos version but I cant make the centos to mount the cdrom at the boot time, I got this message: mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only ... after the boot i did check and the cdrom is not mounted. I tried checking where the cdrom is linked to: [root@server ~]# ll /dev/cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jan 13 00:42 /dev/cdrom -> hdc [root@server ~]# and tried mounting it manually and got the same message but i am able to access the cd content: [root@server ~]# mount /dev/cdrom /media/ mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only [root@server ~]# ls -la /media total 487 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 6144 Mar 21 2009 . drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Jan 13 00:42 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 xp1 500 407552 Mar 21 2009 CentOS -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 112 Mar 21 2009 .discinfo -rw-r--r-- 7 root root 212 Jun 14 2008 EULA -rw-r--r-- 7 root root 18009 Jun 14 2008 GPL drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 2048 Mar 21 2009 images drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2048 Mar 21 2009 isolinux drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12288 Mar 16 2009 NOTES my fstab look like this: [root@server ~]# more /etc/fstab # This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 [root@server ~]# what shoud i define in order to make it work??
