Help Unable to mount cd burner as read device
Sorry, let us try this again, somhow I clipped out the files.matt Greetings, I need advise as to what might've become bollixed after a kernel upgrade. Problem: Unable to mount the scsi (real, native, scsi cd burner for reading). Symptoms: mount /dev/sr0 will immediately spool up the cd-r/w after 3-5 minutes of running a message is printed: media not found. Or sometimes: too many files systems mounted, or bad block, or wrong file system type. At this point if one does "cdrecord -scanbus" the device will have been removed from the bus, invocation of Xcdroast will confirm by stating :" something on the scsi bus has changed, please run config." A reboot (hard boot) later and everything is back on the bus and addressable, one may burn cd's but not read them from the native scsi device. The IDE cdrom works fine and is running in scsi emulation. I have mucked about changing /etc/fstab device names and relinking (/dev/scd0 instead of /dev/sr0, etc.) to no difference. Also noted are links in the home dir. that were never there before, deleting these cause no problems but they are returned at each reboot. The mount point "/cdrom" seems to have been added to at the time of the kernel update also (the mount point dir. /cdrom now has a subdir. //cdrom0 which makes no sense to me) the additional sub directory will always reinstall if removed at subsequent reboots. DAMN annoying, as my Microlite BackupEdge/RecoverEdge software is now an expensive virtual boat anchor It requires that the cdr device be able to read and write. I was thinking the there is something someplace about max_devices sometimes needing to be reset with the 2.4.18 and upward kernels (at least on Debian), and dim memory vaguely recollects some type of scsi wait/time out issues with some cd devices, BUT, I am not sure where or how to proceed. System: Debian 3.0,2.4.19-k6, Attached are some files I hope will be descriptive and helpful. NOTE: these are from a state where the cd burner is recognized and would run through cdrecord or what you will. As a quick after thought, I wonder if perhaps the proper Cdr. device in the 2.4.xxx series for cdrecord, cdparanioa might not be an sg designation? If so how to set/ find proper sg#? I've never understood the hdc: FX3400S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive thing as it is clearly being controlled through ide_scsi and is fully usable (being mountable as a cdrom which it is, not a cdr/w). any help will be very welcome, I don't have a clue what next to try. tia, matthewCharacter devices: 1 mem 2 pty/m%d 3 pty/s%d 4 tts/%d 5 cua/%d 6 lp 7 vcs 9 st 10 misc 13 input 14 sound 21 sg 29 fb 108 ppp 116 alsa 128 ptm 136 pts/%d 162 raw 180 usb Block devices: 1 ramdisk 3 ide0 7 loop 11 sr 22 ide1 nodev rootfs nodev bdev nodev proc nodev sockfs nodev tmpfs nodev shm nodev pipefs cramfs nodev ramfs nodev devfs nodev devpts ext3 ext2 iso9660 nodev usbdevfs nodev usbfs nodev autofs -001f : dma1 0020-003f : pic1 0040-005f : timer 0060-006f : keyboard 0070-007f : rtc 0080-008f : dma page reg 00a0-00bf : pic2 00c0-00df : dma2 00f0-00ff : fpu 0100-0101 : OPL3-SA control 0170-0177 : ide1 01f0-01f7 : ide0 0213-0213 : isapnp read 02f8-02ff : serial(set) 0300-0301 : MPU401 UART 0376-0376 : ide1 0378-037a : parport0 0388-0389 : OPL2/3 (left) 038a-038b : OPL2/3 (right) 03c0-03df : vga+ 03f6-03f6 : ide0 03f8-03ff : serial(set) 0a79-0a79 : isapnp write 0cf8-0cff : PCI conf1 0e84-0e87 : CS4231 c000-cfff : PCI Bus #01 dc00-dcff : Adaptec AHA-2930CU ffa0-ffaf : Acer Laboratories Inc.

Help Unable to mount cd burner as read device
Greetings, I need advise as to what might've become bollixed after a kernel upgrade. Problem: Unable to mount the scsi (real, native, scsi cd burner for reading). Symptoms: mount /dev/sr0 will immediately spool up the cd-r/w after 3-5 minutes of running a message is printed: media not found. Or sometimes: too many files systems mounted, or bad block, or wrong file system type. At this point if one does "cdrecord -scanbus" the device will have been removed from the bus, invocation of Xcdroast will confirm by stating :" something on the scsi bus has changed, please run config." A reboot (hard boot) later and everything is back on the bus and addressable, one may burn cd's but not read them from the native scsi device. The IDE cdrom works fine and is running in scsi emulation. I have mucked about changing /etc/fstab device names and relinking (/dev/scd0 instead of /dev/sr0, etc.) to no difference. Also noted are links in the home dir. that were never there before, deleting these cause no problems but they are returned at each reboot. The mount point "/cdrom" seems to have been added to at the time of the kernel update also (the mount point dir. /cdrom now has a subdir. //cdrom0 which makes no sense to me) the additional sub directory will always reinstall if removed at subsequent reboots. DAMN annoying, as my Microlite BackupEdge/RecoverEdge software is now an expensive virtual boat anchor It requires that the cdr device be able to read and write. I was thinking the there is something someplace about max_devices sometimes needing to be reset with the 2.4.18 and upward kernels (at least on Debian), and dim memory vaguely recollects some type of scsi wait/time out issues with some cd devices, BUT, I am not sure where or how to proceed. System: Debian 3.0,2.4.19-k6, Attached are some files I hope will be descriptive and helpful. NOTE: these are from a state where the cd burner is recognized and would run through cdrecord or what you will. As a quick after thought, I wonder if perhaps the proper Cdr. device in the 2.4.xxx series for cdrecord, cdparanioa might not be an sg designation? If so how to set/ find proper sg#? I've never understood the hdc: FX3400S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive thing as it is clearly being controlled through ide_scsi and is fully usable (being mountable as a cdrom which it is, not a cdr/w). any help will be very welcome, I don't have a clue what next to try. tia, matthew0 dev_max(currently)=9 max_active_device=4 (origin 1) scsi_dma_free_sectors=144 sg_pool_secs_aval=320 def_reserved_size=32768 32768 hostchanid lun typeopens qdepth busyonline HP HP35480A1009 YAMAHA CRW2100S1.0H HP C7670A 3925 MITSUMI CD-ROM FX3400S!Bu01 0 0 0 0 1 0 2 0 1 0 0 4 0 5 0 2 0 1 0 0 6 0 3 0 2 0 1 1 0 0 0 5 0 5 0 1 uid busycpl scatg isa emul Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.8 aic7860: Ultra Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 3/253 SCBs SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices 0 0 2 128 0 0 0 0 5 256 0 1 30124 Version: 3.1.24 (20020505) CD-ROM information, Id: cdrom.c 3.12 2000/10/18 drive name: sr1 sr0 drive speed:34 40 drive # of slots: 1 1 Can close tray: 1 1 Can open tray: 1 1 Can lock tray: 1 1 Can change speed: 1 1 Can select disk:0 0 Can read multisession: 1 1 Can read MCN: 1 1 Reports media changed: 1 1 Can play audio: 1 1 Can write CD-R: 0 1 Can write CD-RW:0 1 Can read DVD: 0 0 Can write DVD-R:0 0 Can write DVD-RAM: 0 0
