Hi all,
I have 2 older systems AMD 586 400 and an Intel PII 233 both loaded with Red Hat 7.2
Both of which I was able to install successfully through the CD-ROM.
However, when I attempt to mount the CDROM It return a mount failure error stating:
Not a valid block device.
I have tried various versions of the command including -t iso9660 and recreating the device file all with the same result.
The dev file is for a secondary master CDROM
brw-rw---- root disk 22, 0 /dev/hdc
on both. The /mnt/cdrom directory is valid and there is mountable media in the CDROM drives.
(Unfortunately, I do not know the exact model of either CDROM drive off the top of my head.
If anyone has had this issue and knows of a resolution, I would appreciate it. I will work on these systems again on Friday and will post points at that time, but am eager to learn of anyone's simailar experiences.
Thank you,
Kel

Kelli,
This sounds like just the thing
http://www.tek-tips.com/gviewthread.cfm/lev2/67/lev3/70/pid/619/qid/226837
the gist of the above is that you need to
# /sbin/depmod -ae
to get the kernel to properly resolve dependencies.

Re: CDROM - Not a valid boot device
Thanks Mark!
That sounds like just what I need.
I will run this tomorrow and post points at that time.
Hopefully that will be okay.
Thanks again,
Kel

Re: CDROM - Not a valid boot device
Thanks Mark.
That was just what the doctor ordered.
CD-ROM works great!
