Description of problem:I can play or burn CD's without error in Gnome, however in the other two desktops, the system fails to recognize the CD. Icons for my CD-Rom and CD-Recorder are on the desktop, however clicking on them returns the error: "/dev/hdd: Input/output error .. mount: /dev/hdd: can't read superblock .. Please check that the disk is entered correctly." Hwbrowser shows the correct cd-rom and cd-recorder. Trying to mount in terminal: bob@localhost media]$ mount /media/cdrom /dev/hdd: Input/output error mount: /dev/hdd: can't read superblock Fstab: /dev/hdd /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_ubject_r:removable_t ,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,fscontext=system_ubject_r:removable_t ,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Insert any CD in either CD-Rom or CD-Recorder. Note: This bug has been present since installation. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Insert any CD into either the CD-Rom or CD-Recorder. 2. 3. Actual results: If in Gnome, CD is recognized and will burn or play without error. If in KDE or Xfce, CD is not recognized and device cannot be mounted. (Floppy works in Gnome, KDE & Xfce). Expected results: Since KDE, Gnome and Xfce are gui's based on the same kernel, I would expect that major components would function in all three without error. Additional info: SELinux is not enabled.
wow, the mount command should not fail like this! what is suspicious, that there is a space between "removable_t" and ",ro" ... is this correct???
Hi Harald; re bug 138928, that was a cut and paste, so the space would have been there. However I've since disabled SELinux, so now my fstab reads (again cut and paste): /dev/hdd /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 This could also be related: In my system logs, there are the following errors: /(example)/ Nov 10 11:26:44 localhost kernel: ide: failed opcode was 100 Nov 10 11:26:44 localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdd, sector 44 /(note:many sectors involved)/ Nov 10 11:26:44 localhost kernel: Buffer I/O error on device hdd, logical block 11 /(note: many blocks involved)/ Nov 10 11:26:44 localhost kernel: hdd: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Nov 10 11:26:44 localhost kernel: hdd: command error: error=0x54 What's also weird, although probably not related, is that my login screen refuses to allow 'root' to log in. Gee, it's fun being on the 'bleeding edge'. Can't wait for FC4!
After many attempts to correct the errors, I formatted and reinstalled FC3. Now NEITHER Gnome nor KDE will allow me to mount the CD-Rom or burner. The error is again 'can't read superblock'. The ONLY thing that I did after installation was to use Up2date to install the 51 changes. BTW, I CAN now sign in as Root, so something was accomplished.
wow.. never saw such a thing... Nov 10 11:26:44 localhost kernel: ide: failed opcode was 100 reassigning to kernel
Resolved, the hard way. Formatted the entire HD, used Wipe to write zeroes to every section and reinstalled. Now everything works (until I break it again)
An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem.
