None of this helped. It is as if the kernel doesn't recognize the device is a cd-rom. It does see the drive at the proper place in the scsi chain. The drive is correctly reported after booting in the KDE Control Center Information SCSI, and during boot process. I did some experimenting with different scsi devices. If I add a hard drive, the kernel creates correct device files in /dev/scsi/*. It does the same with ide devices. BUT, it doesn't do a thing with a scsi CD other than create an empty /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target3/lun0. I tried two different cd drives with the same result. It doens't seem to recognize that it is a CD-Rom drive or a block device even though it correctly gets the info from the drive at boot: /var/log/messages snip Mar 8 11:45:56 G3 kernel: Vendor: SONY Model: CD-R CDU948SRev: 1.0j Mar 8 11:45:56 G3 kernel: Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Mar 8 11:45:56 G3 kernel: scsi1 : MESH I'm also getting a boot message that is something like /etc/rc.d/rc.modules line 17 234 segmentation fault that might be related. I can't find the error in any of the logs, but it does flash by during the boot messages. Coud this be a bug? Thanks Tom L
Re: SCSI CD-Rom not mountable
FWIW, SCSI CDR on my x86 system is /dev/srX, not /dev/scdX. Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoftOH/TN, USA http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~sbenedict/ PPC FAQ: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/PPC/FAQ/ Cooker-PPC IRC: irc.openprojects.net/#cooker-ppc

Thanks Tom L Quite odd, I'll have to throw a SCSI CD drive on my machine and see what happens. The 7600 is SCSI natively, and it seems to show up there. The segfault is a different issue. Some program is putting an entry in /etc/modules that should not be there. x86 has the same problem, and no-one seems to know where it comes from. That file should only have the names of valid modules.
