Have you tried it with manual mount? Does manual mounting work? First try it like that, and then move to the "deluxe" option of auto-mounting...

Hello, how to do a manual mounting?

Thanks

Have you tried the manual? You should have a searchable PDF included with your installation (in the /doc directory). Take advantage of that fact, and use it to search the PDF for the terms that interest you.

For example searching for "manual mounting" returns (surprise), ch. 4.3.1 Manual mounting. Oh, and BTW, the next chapter is ch. 4.3.2. Automatic mounting.
