I have a SunBlade 150 running Solaris 9 using gnome 2.0, and I can't seem to mount a cdrom. I've tried manually mounting numerous cd that work on other systems with

mount /dev/sr0

or

mount /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s# (where # is 0-7)

and at best I get a error:

/dev/sr0: bad magic number

but the light on the cdrom does go on, and the disk spins.

I noticed gnome-volcheck was running instead of the Solaris vold, so I chmod -x gnome-volcheck and now it won't start with gnome-session. Even with vold running, it still doesn't want to mount. I can mount floppies fine, but nothing gets written to /cdrom and nothing really happens that I can tell. volcheck -v sr0 results in empty device, even though there's a cd in there.

For the record, I rpc.smserverd is ucommented in /etc/inetd.conf (as I've seen mentioned in other posts) but its not working manually or with vold.

TIA,
Chris
