I've built a new system using the test26.s kernel on a SATA drive and
suddenly cannot mount a cdrom; executing

mount /dev/cdrom

exits with

mount: you must specify the filesystem type

The entry in /etc/fstab is

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto
user,unhide,noauto,owner,ro 0 0

and I can't seem to figure out what's going on.

Any hints about why this would happen (and what to do about it)?

Thanks.

Never mind, the cdrom link was to /dev/hda instead of /dev/hdb.

Gnashing of teeth.

My guess is that you have forgotten to build the ISO9660 filesystem into
the kernel, and you should include Joliet too.

This area is designed to become quite warm during normal operation.

Audio CDs doesnt have a FileSystem so you can't mount then, what you
can do is read then with a CD player app, but you cant mount it....
