Here is some more info on this bug: IN SuSE 7.1 2.2.18 root console mode start YAST1, goto INSTALL SETTINGS, then CONFIGURE HARD DRIVE PARTITIONS, SELECT /DEV/SDC (which is a SCSI r/w MO cartridge) YAST1 shows: "Fdisk detected the following hard drive geometry: Disk /dev/sdc 64 heads 32 sectors 606 cylinders. One cylinder has 1048576 Bytes. Here you can see the error messages of the fdisk program: { Blank empty box } Current partition table of the selected hard disk: Device name From To Blocks Partition Type (box) /dev/sdc1 904485 1858417 976827065 6c Unknown /dev/sdc2 945453 1636077 707199029 74 Unknown /dev/sdc3 1 1 0 20 Unknown (end box)" I have edited fstab as shown in: http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/maddin_zip.html thus: adding: /dev/sdc1 /rwmoex ext2 rw,user,noauto,exec /dev/sdc4 /rwmodos msdos rw,user,noauto,exec,umask=000 But when I issue mount /rwmoex or mount /rwmodos the sys issues this error msg: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1 or too many mounted file systems (aren't you trying to mount an extended partition, instead of some logical partition inside?) or mount : /dev/sdc4 is not a valid block device "Jean-François Bocquet" wrote:

Hi to ALL,
I have had the same problem on SuSE 7.1 on two different machines. I have posted to this list a couple of times about 7.1 inability to mount removable media.
I get the same error msg from MOUNT that you have posted. I have both SCSI read/write magneto optical drives and LS-120 super floppy drives.
These drives work perfectly on these machines when I boot them with W98se or W-NT4, but when I boot 7.1 I cannot mount them; I get the same error msg from MOUNT.
But I have tried something new. I have booted from the #2 cd of the SuSE 6.3 install media; Under install YAST 1 of 6.3 these drives are recognized properly, but once I boot back to 7.1 MOUNT still rejects them.
Can anyone please help us?????????????
