discussion of Can't mount CD-ROM

 ma> I used to be able to read my CD-ROM drive.  Suddenly (for no reason I
 ma> can fathom), I am getting the following output:

 ma> ----------------------------------------------------------------
 ma> # cat /etc/fstab
 ma> /dev/hda4        swap         swap        defaults          1   1

 ma> # mount /cdrom
 ma> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc1,
 ma> or too many mounted file systems
 ma> (aren't you trying to mount an extended partition,
 ma> instead of some logical partition inside?)

 ma> ----------------------------------------------------------------

 ma> I have kernel 2.0.31 (it also fails on 2.0.30), and yes I _do_ a have
 ma> CD in the drive.  Also, the ZIP drive (/dev/hdb4) mounts fine before
 ma> or after I attempt to mount the CD-ROM.


Worth checking the obvious.  Have you got iso9660 support compiled into
your current kernels?  Is the second IDE interface enabled in the BIOS?
(or on the I/O card if it's an old machine).

... My computer is air conditioned, so I don't have to open Windows.
