Feisty clean install creates incorrect fstab entry

I should add that the installation was done from the CD/DVD in question

Thanks for the submission of this bug report.

Could you please run

sudo lshw -C disk

on this system and attach the results here?

Thanks

txwikinger, I guess you wanted the data here like this???
I have more info if you want it. I downloaded the 7.04 alternate CD and
it won't install because of CD errors. I've tested the CD on another
machine and it's 100% ok but it fails an integrity test on my machine.
There is definitely something wrong between my machine and the CD driver.
If you want more info you only have to ask.
Thanks for your trouble, Mike

Can you access your cdrom via one of those device files?

logical name: /dev/cdrom
logical name: /dev/dvd
logical name: /dev/scd0
logical name: /dev/sr0

If so take that one that works and put it into the fstab file, instead of /etc/hdc.

Thanks

Thanks Ralph, I know about that. My point was that the clean install
gets it wrong. Why is that?
Anyway, none of them work because they are all links to scd0 and scd0 is
faulty, I can't read CD's or DVD's correctly.

Cheers

Could you try to apply the newest kernel patch (which is a security patch anyway) to kernel 2.6.20-16 and try if it still doesn't mount correctly. The lastest kernel update fixes some mounting issues especially where no UUID is used.

Thanks

Hi Ralph, I installed the latest kernel 2.6.20-16 and initial tests on
CD's and DVD's appear to work okay. This is the first time that I can
read a DVD on Feisty.
Cheers, Mike

This problem is fixed in kernel 2.6.20-16
