?
or try umount -f /mnt/cdrom
Is the CD actually being loaded into memory?

I have the exact same problem - my network driver is on a second CD - and so I need to umount /mnt/cdrom...
| Code: |
# umount /mnt/cdrom
umount: /mnt/cdrom: device is busy
|
so then I tried the -f option
| Code: |
# umount /mnt/cdrom
umount2: Device or resource busy
umount: newroot/dev/cdroms/cdrom0: not found
umount: /mnt/cdrom: Illegal seek
umount2: Device or resource busy
umount: /mnt/cdrom: device is busy
|
How do I tell if the CD is being loaded into RAM?

looks like you are in /mnt/cdrom then do
| Code: | cd /
umount /mnt/cdrom |
and after it shouldn't say that the device is busy....
or even probably you use the /mnt/cdrom in instance....

| let us know if it works! I was in a fix when I tried it last time. Did practically everything the forums search threw up. But I gave up! |

I don't think you're gonna be able to unmount it ever.
You've booted off the CD so all the commands you're calling are being read off the CD. So essentially when you unmount the CD you're calling a program from the CD to unmount the CD. And then lets say it did work (and you unmounted it). You'd then be in a crippled system that could do nothing as it needs the CD to call any commands but there's no mounted CDs. |

While I understand your point, the whole CD is supposed to be cached in memory. I still haven't found a solution to this unmounting issue, except that for some bizarre reason Gentoo managed to read my NTFS partition (I must have the Rosetta incarnation)...
Finally got it all running - and am now in konqueror (until I get Mozzy running)
Thanks for the help though.
