I have tried installing SuSE 7.2 and SLES 7 and I get the exact same 
problem. This is on two different IBM Intellistation Itanium machines. 
The first CD installs, machine reboots, and then it prompts for the 
second CD.

The following Email was sent by [email protected] to my inbox by mistake, 
it was supposed to go to [email protected], this sort of thing happens 
regularly when mail sent to this address is sent to me instead, so fix 
it will you as I am pissed off! I have warned you of this before and 
still I get other's mail, not good enough me thinks, so kick butt and 
get your collective acts together and if by some chance still you have 
me on any of your mailing lists  then please unsubscribe me !!!!!!!!!!!

offending email follows,

Upon entering the second CD I get an error - Could not mount source 
media. "mount: block device /dev/hda is write-protected, mounting 
read-only mount: you must specify filesystem type".

If I CTRL-F2 I can manually mount the CD by specifing "-t iso9660" but 
the install only changes its error to - "cannot mount block device 
/dev/hda read-only" where before it read "you must specify filesystem 
type". If I change "auto" to "iso9660" in /etc/fstab I can mount the CD 
without a "-t" but, it still gives me this new error.

Digging a little deeper I tried "mount -v /media/cdrom" and I note it 
never tries iso9660. It says it will try everything in /etc/filesystems 
and /proc/filesystems. So, I checked and iso9660 is in /proc/filesystems 
and I added it to /etc/filesystems with no luck.

Any else seen this or have any ideas?
