Samsung SM-332B problems

[fuzzymonkey]

I installed linux using the live cd from the Samsung drive and it worked fine. It is the Secondary master IDE drive for this dual boot system. It works fine in Windows but when booting to linux, it seems to always think there is a blank CD in the drive and it appears on the desktop "CD ROM Disk". If I double click that it goes to CD/DVD creator in the file browser. Also in the file browser is "CD ROM 1" but I only have one drive. When selecting that I get a "unable to select mounted volume" error which also says "mount: special device /dev/hdc does not exist" I'm not sure what else to do. I have mint 3.0 with all the available updates installed now. (it didn't work before updating either)

I think your /etc/fstab is erroneous
The line for the burner should be

Code: Select all

/dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0

If it's not this post back and we'll dig deeper

It appears correct

Code: Select all

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
# /dev/hdb1
UUID=235dd809-71c4-49d6-a860-e9473619e8bb /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
# /dev/hdb5
UUID=0d530212-7abe-47ce-8a70-f5c1f00d0b0e none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0

what now?

PS: If you want we could fix this much faster over IM. PM me if you have some time

Is that your entire fstab?
Then where is hda and hdb2,3 and 4?
No I don't go to the IM channel any more - I found it disturbing to keep an eye on it
And with the number of questions I answer (like scorp123) in my spare time I decided I don't have the time for it.
Yes I know Clem is there - but he's a monster seems to be able to do a thousand things at the same time
A somewhat long answer - but others may read

Sorry I got impatient waiting for a reply so I went ahead and tried some other distros. Ubuntu gave me the same problem but openSUSE worked so I'm gunna stick with that for a while.
Thanks anyways
