In Fedora 9, my DVD-ROM refused to mount automatically on inserting.
Attention Fedora 11 users!
The below does not refer to Fedora 11,
CD mount problem refers to a kernel bug which is not fixed yet,
I will update this post as soon as it is fixed in the distro.
Updated: see some issues for Fedora 11 here
Based on http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?p=556704&mode=threaded
Edit modprobe.conf:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.conf
Add to the end:
options libata atapi_enabled=1
Edit grub.conf
sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.conf
Add to kernel boot parameters:
combined_mode=libata
Create a mount point:
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom sudo gedit /etc/fstab
Append:
/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 user,unhide,noauto,owner,ro,users,iocharset=utf8 0 0
Reboot to apply kernel load changes.
