Yeah the CD will mount fine on the system I am installing on. Sorry I had
so much to say it was hard to make it all clear.
>From the ALT-F2 tty I can mount the CD but the install still will not
accept. When mounted it changes the error message to the second message I
received.
Also I have burned at least 30 other Operating Systems with the same CD's
and burners without problems. The SLES isos I obtained from IBM but the
7.2 isos I got directly from SuSE, both I burned myself, checked MD5 sums
and mounted.
If I can tell the install to mount iso9660 or to accept the CD as mounted
it would allow me to pass this stopping point. No changes I have made to
config files in /etc seem to affect the installer.
Thanks,
Doug

I have tried installing SuSE 7.2 and SLES 7 and I get the exact same
problem. This is on two different IBM Intellistation Itanium machines.
The first CD installs, machine reboots, and then it prompts for the second
CD.
Upon entering the second CD I get an error - Could not mount source media.
"mount: block device /dev/hda is write-protected, mounting read-only mount:
you must specify filesystem type".
If I CTRL-F2 I can manually mount the CD by specifing "-t iso9660" but the
install only changes its error to - "cannot mount block device /dev/hda
read-only" where before it read "you must specify filesystem type". If I
change "auto" to "iso9660" in /etc/fstab I can mount the CD without a "-t"
but, it still gives me this new error.
Digging a little deeper I tried "mount -v /media/cdrom" and I note it never
tries iso9660. It says it will try everything in /etc/filesystems and
/proc/filesystems. So, I checked and iso9660 is in /proc/filesystems and I
added it to /etc/filesystems with no luck.
Any else seen this or have any ideas?

The following Email was sent by dougs(a)us.ibm.com to my inbox by mistake,
it was supposed to go to suse-ia64(a)suse.com, this sort of thing happens
regularly when mail sent to this address is sent to me instead, so fix
it will you as I am pissed off! I have warned you of this before and
still I get other's mail, not good enough me thinks, so kick butt and
get your collective acts together and if by some chance still you have
me on any of your mailing lists then please unsubscribe me !!!!!!!!!!!

Confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this
medium.

co-operation with you in the execution of the deal
described Hereunder for the benefit of all parties
and
hope you will keep it as a top secret because of the

Dollars ($35,500,000.) which we want to transfer
abroad with the assistance and cooperation of a
foreign company/individual to receive the said fund
on
our behalf or a reliable foreign non-company account
to receive such funds. More so, we are handicapped in
the circumstances, as the South Africa Civil Service
Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate offshore
account hence your importance in the whole
transaction.
This amount $35.5m represents the balance of the
total
contract value executed on behalf of my Department by
a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials
over-invoiced deliberately. Though the actual
contract
cost have been paid to the original contractor,
leaving the balance in the Tune of the said amount
which we have in principles gotten approval to remit
by Key tested Telegraphic Transfer (K.T.T) to any
foreign bank account you will provide by filing in an
application through the Justice Ministry here in
South Africa for the transfer of rights and privileges
of
the former contractor to you.
I have the authority of my partners involved to
propose that should you be willing to assist us in
the
transaction, your share of the sum will be 25% of the
$35.5 million, 70% for us and 5% for taxation and
miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100%
safe, on your part provided you treat it with utmost
secrecy and confidentiality. Also your area of
specialization is not a hindrance to the successful
execution of this transaction. I have reposed my
confidence in you and hope that you will not
disappoint me. Endeavor to contact me immediately my

interested in this deal. If you are not, it will
enable me scout
for another foreign partner to carry out this deal I
want
to assure you that my partners and myself are in a
position to make the payment of this claim possible
provided you can give us a very strong Assurance and
guarantee that our share will be secured and please
remember to treat this matter as very confidential
matter, because we will not comprehend with any form
of exposure as we are still in active Government
Service and remember once again that time is of the
essence in this business.
I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.
Yours faithfully,
philip johnson
