hi,

Few days ago i went to kernel 2.6.
But I can't access my cdrom anymore.
It is a combo DVD/CD-writer.

I read that the scsi drivers weren't needed for writing anymore so I
didn't compile them in the kernel.

This is my rule in /etc/fstab
none /mnt/cdrom supermount
dev=/dev/cdrom,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso9660,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0


Plz help

That's right.

What does 'ls /dev/cdroms' tell you? Perhaps you need to load the ide-cd
module?

$ls /dev/cdroms cdrom0

Ok, so try mounting it with

# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom

mount: /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 is not a valid block device

And what is the output of 'ls -l /dev/cdroms'?

Hmmm.... everything checks out so far. Are you 100% sure the CDROM
contains a mountable disk?

So anyway, it was like, 23:57 CEST May 13 2004, you know? Oh, and, yeah,
Sybren Stuvel was all like, "Dude,


If I recall correctly, the OP started out saying he'd removed ide-scsi
emulation from the kernel..?

Yes correct, I did not compile the ide-scsi emulation in kernel, because
it is a ide-cdrom

I checked if the cdrom wasn't disconnected, or broken by starting up to
win*** ,it recognised the cdrom...
