unable to install the DVD version on Linux

[legacy-SiNiStEr NaTiOn]

I'm using MDK 10.0, I had just purchase UT2004 DVD Edition. I been trying to install UT2004 but having no luck because of errors.

mount: /dev/hdc already mounted or /mnt/cdrom busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd is already mounted on /mnt/cdrom
mount: No medium found

and then when it ask me this

Please mount the Unreal Tournament 2004 Play Disc Cdrom.

Choose Yes to retry, No to cancel

I select yes but keep getting the same errors. Even if I SU and try and install UT2004. I'm still somewhat new to Linux. I've search the forum but not having any luck, keep getting threads in the results for windows similiar problems to the words used in the search and a very few linux problems. Like to know what am I suppose to do or if there are other posts a link to them could be helpful, because this morning I tried to sesarch the forum (9-4-04) and kept getting a blank page for the search.

I had tried the umount and mount, but the man and info pages is just a little to techno for me to understand.

Still at it still, but this tiime I copy the linux-installer.sh to a different directory and cd to it and then chmod it the file....

chmod 700 linux-installer.sh

then I type

sh linux-installer.sh

and got this ouput

Copying to a temporary location...
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing Unreal Tournament 2004 for GNU/Linux 3186.............................................. ........................
mount: /dev/hdc already mounted or /mnt/cdrom busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd is already mounted on /mnt/cdrom
mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified

then when it had ask to mount the cdrom i had a second konsole open and I was SU in this konsole and type this in

umount /mnt/cdrom

got this message

umount: /mnt/cdrom: device is busy
umount: /mnt/cdrom: device is busy

like i said the installer.sh was copy and run from a different location. any suggestion would be helpful.

forgot this is what in my fstab for my dvd-rom and dvd burner

/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro 0 0

don't know if that could help but the dvd rom is cdrom and my dvd burner is cdrom2

You might want to try turning off auto mount and mounting the cdrom drive manually. I don't use Mandrake, so I'm not sure how that's set up with automounting, but if you run a search you can probably find something about it in similar distros like SuSE and Fedora Core.

Thanxs Death Penguin, I might be new to this enviroment but I did manage to turn off the automount to my DVD-ROM and opened up two konsoles and in one fo them I unmounted the cdrom and switch back to the other one and start the installation from the temp location and it installed. Now to start the game and see how it does.

See where your console for UT2K4 installer says
"mount: according to mtab, /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd is already mounted on /mnt/cdrom" well, change your mtab file!

worked here after trying everything I found at Atari and other Lx communities....
