Very Computer

Hello,
I'm just getting into this Linux thing.  I have redhat 6.2 all up and
running on my machine and in KDE when I pull up a terminal and try to
mount my cdrom drive with a cd in it, I get the message:

mount: No medium found

but there is a medium (cd) in the drive, so I don't know what to do.
Can anybody help me solve this problem?
thanks a lot,
Dave

I have a similar problem.
Scsi cdrom drive.
Yellow book CDR in drive.
Kernel 2.2.19 with scsi cdrom support compiled in
On boot, scsi cdrom recognized as sr0
but no /dev/sr0 exists

What is the correct device to sym link /dev/cdrom to in this situation?
cat /proc/devices shows sr

I'll try it with an a CDROM (non-CDR) later today, but if someone
has the correct configuration for this situation, that would be helpful.
73,

The correct device in this situation is the one with major number 11 and
minor number 0.  There seems to be some confusion over whether /dev/sr0
or /dev/scd0 is the correct name for this device; look in /dev and see
if you can find the one your distro provides.

If neither /dev/scd0 nor /dev/sr0 exists, then do:
  mknod -m644 /dev/sr0 b 11 0
and try it again.  HTH,

I appears to have been the cdrom medium.
After i updated mount and did a reboot
the device seemed to work

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            9 Apr 17 15:51 cdrom ->
/dev/scd0

brw-------    1 pgrace   disk      11,   0 May  5  1998 scd0

However, the cdr with the image of RedHat 7.1 says that it's unable to
recover the table-of-contents
when I try to mount it.

Perhaps I burned the cd incorrectly.
