Dear Sir, I have everything set up on my red hat Linux 7.1 linux box. For sometime I could mount cd's and floppies automatically, but now something seems to have gone wrong. I can't mount my floppy(/dev/fd0) and cdrom(/dev/cdrom) manually or automatically. At startup it says ... /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device. /dev/cdrom is write protected...mounting read only! mount: No medium found. How can this problem be solved. Please anyone out there, do try to help me out!
