PC: Toshiba laptop satellite s3000-400 system: redhat 7.0 For activating the drive for writing cds I have installed the scsi-emulator. Mounting the cdrom gives the return: not a valid block device.
I searched by google and got several hits on this problem. Next step was to give the command: ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom. Then: /sbin/depmod -ae Another tip from google search was to change /etc/fstab : from '/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom' to '/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom' and give command 'ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom' By mounting /mnt/cdrom I now get this message: 'mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/scd0 as ablock device (maybe insmod driver?)
