I tried this on F9, it does not seem to work:
# mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/sr0 /media/cd
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
Interestingly, removing the CD from the drive results:
# mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/sr0 /media/cd
mount: No medium found
Note: /dev/cdrom does not work. I tried this for both
of my CD CD/DVD drives and I note that the devices
respectively are: /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1
# mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /media/cd
mount: special device /dev/cdrom does not exist
But then again, on F9 (as I reported earlier), hal is able
to recognize both of my drives and to automount and
start the default audio CD application perfectly.
So - something is wrong with F11's device handlers...
or so I think.
I cannot think of what else to try...
