Cannot mount cdrom if I use GRUB

2003-07-03 Thread Marino Fernandez
This must be a very simple and dumb problem, but I cannot figure it out.

If I boot with LILO, I can mount my CD/DVD w/o any problem.
If I boot with GRUB I get an error message that says that my /dev/dvd is not a 
valid block device (same with /dev/cdrom, /dev/sr0, /dev/scd0, even as root).

I have this in fstabs:
/dev/cdrom  /cdrom  iso9660  defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto  0  0
I have this in lilo.conf:
append="hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi apm=power-off nomce wheelmouse"
I have this in /boot/grub/menu.lst:
# kopt=root=/dev/hda13 ro vga=791 hdc=scsi

My CD/DVD is a Matshita UJDA 720. Is the primary drive in my second IDE (thus 
hdc), is under scsi emulation.

Thank you, that was it!.
Now I have this in /boot/grub/menu.lst:

title   Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.4.21-686
root(hd0,12)
kernel  /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-686 root=/dev/hda13 ro vga=791 hdc=ide-scsi
savedefault
boot
