Error mounting cdrom, Redhat Advanced Server AS 2.1

Hi,

I installed "Red Hat Linux Advanced Server release 2.1AS (Pensacola)" on

a Pentium III desktop.  After installation I cannot mount cdrom
(whichever
way i tried, i.e, mount /mnt/cdrom or mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc
/mnt/temp etc).
It gives the error message:

mount: Not a directory

I used the same CDROM for installation.  /var/log/messages does not show
any error messages it only shows the message that IDE CDROM driver is
loaded.

I tried using kernels 2.4.9-e.3 (stock kernel on CDROM).  Then I got the

errata kernel source (2.4.9-e.16) and recompiled the kernel with IDE
support
as module.  Still the same error message.  But using the kernel
2.4.9-e.16BOOT
I could easily mount the cdrom.  I am attaching the kernel config file.

Please help me.

Thanks,
Regards,
S. Subin
