Re: CD mount problem
Dear Groups,
Today I tried after booting the machine, the CD gets mounted and I
am able to read the files.
But after going to X (startx) in xterm, when I tries to mount it,
it gives the error
mount: Wrong medium type
After coming out of X also, I am facing the same problem.
The Error in /var/log/messages is:
Jun 1 09:39:28 pvm2 kernel: cdrom: open failed.
Thanking you
Sakthivel
