I have just started to get "Mount : No Medium Found" when I try to mount my CDROM. It is an old drive so could be on the way out, but I just want to eliminate other possibilities before I purchase a new one.
I'm sure you've already checked that the CD is actually in there... If this has happened after you've done your upgrade 7.1, then the first thing to do is check whether the /dev/cdrom link is pointing to the right place. Also make sure that the CD is found when you boot up - it may have a different device name for some reason (see below). Try mounting the CD using the full mount command, including device name, rather than relying upon /etc/fstab. I say this because I got the same message after I upgraded to kernel 2.4.3. I've got two CD drives - one SCSI (/dev/scd0), one ATAPI (/dev/scd1, using ide-scsi module). What had happened was that the ide-scsi module had loaded first, causing the ATAPI drive to get the device name /dev/scd0. I stuck the CD into the SCSI drive and tried to mount /dev/scd0 - but there was no medium found ('cos it was trying to mount the ATAPI CD). When I figured out what had happened it was simple enough to fix, but it had me confused for a while.
