I will appreciate any help on this... I have for testing purposes
CentOS 4.7 running on VMWare workstation 6.5, I need to boot the centos
virtual machine from the cdrom in order to test an upgrade to an upper
centos version but I cant make the centos to mount the cdrom at the
boot time, I got this message: </font><em>mount</em>: <em>block device</em>
/<em>dev</em>/<em>hdc is write</em>-<em>protected</em>, <em>mounting
read</em>-<em>only</em> <b>... </b><font face="Arial">after the boot
i did check and the cdrom is not mounted.<br>
I tried checking where the cdrom is linked to:<br>
<br>
<small>[root@server ~]# ll /dev/cdrom<br>
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jan 13 00:42 /dev/cdrom -> hdc<br>
[root@server ~]#</small><br>
<br>
and tried mounting it manually and got the same message but i am able
to access the cd content:<br>
<br>
<small>[root@server ~]# mount /dev/cdrom /media/<br>
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only<br>
[root@server ~]# ls -la /media<br>
total 487<br>
