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
