Hi,
brw------- 1 andrew.w disk 11, 0 Aug 30 2001 /dev/scd0
Only andrew.w has access to /dev/scd0. Can you mount the disk as root? Any other "peasent" accounts on the machine will not be able to access it.
On my machine I have the following... brw-rw---- 1 root cdwriter 11, 0 Sep 27 2000 scd0
Does the automounter mount it successfully (if you are using it) check /etc/auto.misc

Hi! I'm another newbie (to ALUG not Linux) and here I go starting with a plea for help!
I've just updated one of my machines which previously ran RH 5.X then 6.0 to RH 7.3.
Well, actually, I didn't update - as always I cleaned the disk right down, low-level formatted, re-partitioned and did a completely new installation.
Most things run fine BUT I can't seem to mount a CD. I know there's nothing wrong with the drive because I did the installation from it!
Here's the dirt:

So you can see that the system seems to know the device is there but the /dev/scd0 device (11, 0) doesn't seem to be able to access it.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm flummoxed. Any suggestions, please?
