 |
|
I haven't used my cdrom since I installed Gentoo over two years ago so this may have been fixed a long time ago but searching the forums has gotten me nowhere...
Now, the kernel finds the drive...
| Code: |
Mar 14 13:25:26 Voyager Probing IDE interface ide1...
Mar 14 13:25:26 Voyager hdc: QSI CD-RW/DVD-ROM SBW-242, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
Mar 14 13:25:26 Voyager ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
|
When I try to mount /mnt/cdrom, I get...
| Code: |
Voyager mnt # mount /mnt/cdrom/ /dev/cdroms/cd0
mount: mount point /dev/cdroms/cd0 does not exist
|
But from what I can tell, that naming scheme is long gone since the changes with UDev... So I try this...
| Code: |
Voyager mnt # mount /mnt/cdrom/ /dev/hdc/
mount: mount point /dev/hdc/ does not exist
|
I checked out /dev and neither the cdroms directory nor hdc were present... That probably explains the above. I tried the following...
| Code: |
Voyager dev # mknod /dev/hdc b 97 0
|
And got this...
| Code: |
Voyager mnt # mount /mnt/cdrom/ /dev/hdc
mount: /mnt/cdrom/ is not a block device
|
I did walk through all the instructions on this page and everything has been installed per the instructions...
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml
The "/dev Filesystem Support" has already been removed from my kernel but I don't think that makes anything different. I am running ck-sources-2.6.15-ck3-r1 and I've emerged the latest baselayout (1.12.0_pre16-r3)... To the best of my knowledge, it has been a very long time since I have ever had KDE put a cd icon on my desktop. I don't ever remember any media (cd, cdrw, dvd) automounting...
Has anyone else ran into this problem? Does it make a difference that this ia a cdrw/dvd drive instead of just a cdrom???

Shouldn't it be
| Code: | | % mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom |

| Code: |
Voyager / # mount /mnt/cdrom /dev/hdc
mount: /mnt/cdrom is not a block device
|
I think so but it still gave me the same result...  |

| Code: | | # mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom |
not
| Code: | | # mount /mnt/cdrom /dev/hdc |

 Opps...
| Code: |
Voyager / # mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
mount: /dev/hdc is not a valid block device
|
Still no dice...  |

The post in that post had the solution... I was missing ide cdrom support in my kernel. It works now... Thanks for the direction!  |
