No - I can't mount using the command line. It just spins for a long time and doesn't work with any CD I try.Your fstab file looked proper. What is the output of doing a directory listing as below:
Please help!
ls -la /dev/cdrom*
If it is a cdwriter, the output should be similar to below:
ls -la /dev/cdrom* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 24 13:39 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Mar 10 18:26 /dev/cdrom1 -> /dev/scd1
Both of my cdroms are symlinked to /dev/scdx and both work when trying to mount the cdroms.
If your symlinks point to /dev/hdx - it might be what is causing the problem. I had that sort of problem with the betas.
