I have a sony vaio grx600 laptop, running RH9 with kernel 2.6.0-test1. I can't get my cdrom to work for reasons that are beyond me. ----------------- dmesg reports:
hdc: SONY CD-RW/DVD-ROM CRX820E, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices Vendor: SONY Model: CD-RW CRX820E Rev: 1.5k Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 0x/4x cdda caddy Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12 Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 5 ------------------- However, /dev/sr0 doesn't exist. I do have /dev/cdwriter which points to /dev/sg0. When I try to mount I get "/dev/cdwrite is not a block device". trying to mount /dev/hdc I get the message: # mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrw/ mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted file systems (could this be the IDE device where you in fact use ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?) Interestingly after I do this, if I dmesg I get few more lines: # dmesg .... ide-scsi: unsup command: dev hdc: flags = REQ_HARDBARRIER REQ_CMD REQ_STARTED sector 64, nr/cnr 2/2 bio f7fda4c0, biotail f7fda4c0, buffer ec52f000, data 00000000, len 3755991007 end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 64 isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=hdc, iso_blknum=16, block=32 When I try to mount sda, or sda1 I get the error, ... not a block device. I do have scsi emulation and scsi ATAPI cdrom compiled in the kernel. I don't have ATA cdrom stuff compiled in... Can anyone give me any pointers to how I can get this sony piece of crap cdrom to work?
