Desktop has two icons  DVD (hdc)(unmounted DVD) and DVD-ROM Device_1
Dvd will not mount as can't find filesystem. DVD-ROM Device_1 won't
mount as can't find/media/cdrom_dvd in etc/fstab or /etc/mstab  But I
can read and play DVD's and CD's.  I've been trying various settings in
fstab but so far no luck.  Any suggestions.  Tnx




Is DMA for the drive turned on????
As root from the console or xterm session type; hdparm /dev/hdc

Disable the service kudzu; chkconfig --levels 345 kudzu off

Sample /etc/fstab entry;

/dev/hdc      /media/cdrecorder    auto    exec,noauto,users,ro 0 0

Well, this is really weird! As root, hdparm and chkconfig - commands not found. DMA on? Unknown. changed fstab to your sample, reboot comes back with kudzu change to /media/cdrom7 from /media/cdrecorder.Appreciate help here, tnx 

OK did su - + password and commands ok.  hdparm  /dev/hdc produced

IO_support = 1 (32 bit)
unmaskirq  = 1 (on)
using_dma  = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly   = 0 (off)
readahead  = 256 (on)
HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument

kudzu disabled - used your sample /etc/fstab entry rebooted and icon for cd recorder appears - type: unmounted CD writer. Deleted other icon. "Mount" produces message Mount: I could not determine the file system and none was specified. Please check disc entered correctly. (Disk in drive is audio and began to play on reboot)
