I just installed 3.4.3 on my HP laptop and I'm having a problem with devices mounting. I tried my iomega flash drive and a cd and am getting the same error on both. Both give the error:
mount: Can't find /dev/xxx in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
Both are detected on the desktop when I plug them in/insert the cd.
I found another post about pen drives and added a line to fstab for it but I still go the error. Any ideas?
I downloaded 6.0 and

Is there a line in your mtab for the usb drive? If no, then the line in the mtab is almost the same as the one for fstab, just change the none at the begining to usbfs.
Is there a line in your fstab for a cdrom? If not then you can try adding this and see if it works for you:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,users,dev,ro 0 0
good luck.
