[Linux] Problems mounting ISO image

Hello!

I know this isn't a Linux forum, but there are enough Linux users around here, so I post this in the hope that someone of you can help me out.

Here's the output from the Terminal of what I have done:

Code: Select all

Pikkunen:~# file SADVENTURE_DEMO.iso
SADVENTURE_DEMO.iso: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'SADVENTUREDEMO1                '

Pikkunen:~# file /media/cdrom/
/media/cdrom/: directory

Pikkunen:~# mount -o loop -t iso9660 SADVENTURE_DEMO.iso /media/cdrom/
mount: Not a directory

Pikkunen:~# dmesg | tail
File unit size != 0 for ISO file (1536).
Interleaved files not (yet) supported.
File unit size != 0 for ISO file (1536).
Interleaved files not (yet) supported.
File unit size != 0 for ISO file (1536).
UDF-fs: No VRS found
ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A
Interleaved files not (yet) supported.
File unit size != 0 for ISO file (1536).

Pikkunen:~#
As you see, I'm trying to mount the game Sailor's Adventure Demo, but the mount command fails. I checked the MD5 of the ISO against the one which is present on the website of the game and both checksums are identical.

Thanks in advance!

Just curious... did you also try giving the full path to the ISO?

Code: Select all

mount -o loop -t iso9660 /home/yourdir/SADVENTURE_DEMO.iso /media/cdrom/

Yup, the same error still happens. I also tried other directories than /media/cdrom/.

Joliet support is in the kernel. Tried in Debian, Gentoo and Xandros. Installing Ubuntu won't make any difference.

Try booting with "ide=nodma" as a parameter
