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?)

What is wrong here?


dmesg | grep ATAPI gives return: hdc: UJDA710, ATAPI CDROM drive


lilo.conf file:

boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=500
message=/boot/message
lba32
default=linux

image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.16-22
    append="hdc=ide-scsi"
    label=linux
    read-only
    root=/dev/hda5

other=/dev/hda1
    label=Windows_me


/etc/fstab now is this one:

LABEL=/                 /                       ext2    defaults        1 1
