I am trying to mount the CD on on Compaq Presario 1620 running 4.6- STABLE (1 Aug 2002). FWIW, I do not know if this CD drive is in operating condition and have never used the CD drive.
dmesg shows this: acd0: CDROM <TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-1602B> at ata1-master PIO4 Attempts to mount give this error: # mount /dev/acd0a /cdrom acd0: TEST_UNIT_READY - MEDIUM ERROR asc=0x57 ascq=0x00 error=0x00 acd0: TEST_UNIT_READY - MEDIUM ERROR asc=0x57 ascq=0x00 error=0x00 mount: /dev/acd0a: Input/output error # mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/acd0c /cdrom acd0: TEST_UNIT_READY - MEDIUM ERROR asc=0x57 ascq=0x00 error=0x00 acd0: TEST_UNIT_READY - MEDIUM ERROR asc=0x57 ascq=0x00 error=0x00 acd0: TEST_UNIT_READY - MEDIUM ERROR asc=0x57 ascq=0x00 error=0x00 cd9660: /dev/acd0c: Input/output error If I don't have a CD in the drive, I get this error: # mount -t cd9660 -o ro /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660: /dev/acd0c: Input/output error Is this an indication that the drive is functional Clues?
