I can not mount any cdrom

After transfer of system on udev I can not mount any cdrom.

[blackbox@drakstar ~]$ mount /mnt/cd/
mount: Not a directory
[blackbox@drakstar ~]$

& my fs

[blackbox@drakstar ~]$ cat /etc/fstab
#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0
tmpfs                  /tmp          tmpfs     defaults            0      0
usbfs                  /proc/bus/usb usbfs  defaults            0      0

/dev/cdroms/cdrom0     /mnt/cd   iso9660   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1     /mnt/dvd  auto      ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
#/dev/floppy/0          /mnt/fl   vfat      user,noauto             0      0

/dev/discs/disc0/part2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part3 / reiserfs defaults 0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part1 /boot reiserfs defaults 0 0
[blackbox@drakstar ~]$ tab 

There are ideas?

Re: I can not mount any cdrom

Also change:

/dev/cdroms/cdrom0

to

/dev/hdd (or whatever it is the cd rom device)

And

/dev/discs/disc0/part2

to

/dev/hda2 and so on .. you got it, right?

Re: I can not mount any cdrom

try mounting your device, like "mount /dev/discs/****"

also if you haven't done it already you should switch to udev,

Re: I can not mount any cdrom

maybe it's the "/dev/cdroms" dir that is missing... try the /dev/dvd /dev/cdrom symlinks in that case....

Re: I can not mount any cdrom

it should be something like

mount /dev/hdd /mnt/dvd

if it still gives you errors, use "-t auto" to the mount command.
