CDROM problems

2006-01-03 Thread David Baron
I have two drives, a newer LG slaved on the 1st IDE and an older 
Smart-and-friendly: slaved on the 2nd IDE. Both have worked fine in the past.

Now: Both will play music fine using Kscd (for analog mode) or xmms, etc., 
digital mode.

The LG will not mount data disks at all--LED never stops blinking. This may 
not be a problem with linux at all--I have no idea why this as stopped 
working. This is, of course, the newer and faster drive.

The S+F will not mount by mount /dev/hdd according to /etc/fstab. I can 
successfully mount it by the full command sudo mount -t 
iso9660 /dev/hdd . Clicking the KDE desktop icon for the drive will not 
mount it either.

Any ideas?

Re: custom initrd on stock kernel installation (cdrom problems)

2005-11-09 Thread Marc PERRUDIN
kristian kvilekval a écrit :

Background:
Having discovered that my cdrom disappeared a while ago,
I tracked down that the loading order of modules
determines whether I have a Cdrom device or not.
Specifically I need to force 

ide-core
cdrom
ide-cd
ide-disk
ide-generic

to load before any scsi drivers load specifically by
placing them in the initial ramdisk used during the kernel load.
I accomplished this by placing the above list in 
  /etc/mkinitrd/modules

Question:

   I would like to run debian stock kernels from unstable.
However I would like a custom initrd instance to be installed
while installing the standard kernel. Is this possible?
  

Yes, and you don't have to do anything. The standard kernel doesn't come
with an initrd, the initrd is build with options you set in
/etc/mkinitrd when you install the new kernel package.

cu.

It appear that kernel-img.conf allows set a ramdisk command,
but this fails even with mkinitrd (documentation says it must
be compatible with mkinitrd?)

Thanks for any suggestions.

I believe it may have to do with famd; try killing that process and see 
if it releases the CD-ROM. I have no detailed knowledge of this problem,

I beleve it was kio_audiocd preventing me from ejecting the cd.
I removed the kdemultimedia-plugin package and it seems to fix the

autofs cdrom problems

2003-08-07 Thread Antony Gelberg
Hi all,

I've just set up autofs to handle my cdrom mounting, but I've hit a
slight snag:

antgel $ eject /cdrom
umount: /dev/cdrom mount disagrees with the fstab
eject: unmount of `/dev/cdrom' failed
antgel $ 

Here's the line from my fstab:
/dev/cdrom  /cdrom  iso9660 ro,user,sync,nodev,nosuid,noauto
0   0

And this is from /etc/auto.misc:
cdrom   -fstype=iso9660,ro,sync,nodev,nosuid,user,noauto
:/dev/cdrom

It then worked when I changed my fstab to read:
/dev/cdrom  /var/autofs/misc/cdrom  iso9660
ro,user,sync,nodev,nosuid 0 0

even though /cdrom is a symlink to /var/autofs/misc/cdrom.  I also had
to type eject /var/autofs/misc/cdrom.  In this case, eject /cdrom caused
thetry to open and close immediately.

Also, I can't figure out how to play audio cd's.  This used to be as
simple as selecting the /cdrom directory in xmms.

Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

Re: CDROM problems with installer 2.2.23

 Hi
 
 Have installed potato(carefully,multiple times) using boot floppy images
 2.2.23 from CDROM. On reboot, apt-get tries to access packages and gets
 error: fs iso9660 not supported by kernel. Using mount has always
 given the same error. I tried using an older version installer (2.1)
 which explicitly refused to load the cdrom module. The CDROM is ATAPI,
 ASUS CD S400/A and should not need a special driver. The computer is AMD
 K5 -- Debian is hdc secondary master, CDROM is hdd secondary slave.
 CDROM  works fine on Mandrake 8.0 which is on a different physical drive
 hda, dual boot using LILO. CDROM works on floppy or CDROM Debian boot
 media, just not from Debian on hdc. I tried to use ftp for access
 thinking to try to compile a different kernel but on the last two tries
 apt-get now cannot name resolve the Debian ftp site. I had gotten
 further with this Debian install and after some effort X-windows was
 working somewhat. I then tried to mess with kernel issues to get the
 CDROM working but I'm not winning.
 As I reread this, sounds like hdc maybe can't reach the CDROM. I'll
 check the hardware, but are there any other insights?
 


For some reason the kernel does not seem to support iso9660 file format.
Could be some module matter.
Have you got an option to choose some other kernel for the installation?

Sounds like you don't have support in your kernel for ISO 9660 file systems.  
Which floppy images did you use?  I'd imagine they'd all at least have 
support for ISO 9660.

If you're getting an fs error then it's likely your drive was detected but 
the kernel can't read the media.  You could check your kernel logs (dmesg) to 
see if your CD-ROM is detected, but I suspect it has been.

Usually your recourse is to recompile the kernel with support for ISO 9660 
file system, but if you're using the stock kernel from the installation disks 
then the fact that it can't read the CD is strange indeed.

newbie: mounting Mitsumi cdrom problems

1999-06-11 Thread David Brode
My goal is to get dselect to recognize my cdrom drive so that I can 
install applications.

After booting the OS  logging on as /, I enter dselect. I choose [0. 
Access] and select multicd. The cd is in the drive. System responds:

I see that /dev/cdrom exists and is a block device. Insert the CD-ROM and
enter the block device name [/dev/cdrom]:

So I accept the default. System doesn't like that and responds:

mount: the kernal does not recognize /dev/cdrom as a block device. 
 (maybe 'insmod driver'?) 
 unable to mount /dev/cdrom on /var/lib/dpkg/methods/mnt, type iso9660 
Insert the CD-ROM and enter the block device name [/dev/cdrom]:

And from there I'm stuck. I'm a linux newbie; yesterday was my first 
attempt to install a system. Since I couldn't get the cdrom working, 
I made installation floppies of Debian 2.1 (slink) from the debian.org 
site. Installation went smoothly. I even successfully installed the 
cdrom driver correctly after divining the port address, DMA, and IRQ 
settings from the interface card. When I boot the OS, the boot banner 
says: 

 mcd=0x320,9: Mitsumi status, type and version: 10 D 2 Double Speed CD ROM
and it also says:
 Failed initialization of WD-7000 SCSI card! 
 scsi: o hosts 
 scsi: detected total

More hardware info: Micron 486DX 100, CD is Mitsumi FX001D. The 
interface card on the CD says CD-ROM Drive 16BIT I/F Card 74-1881A. 
I'm kind of confused about the SCSI failed initialization msg, b/c my 
HD is IDE and seems to work fine. The Mitsumi manual says nothing 
about the interface card being SCSI or IDE. Did I leave out any other 
relevant information? Oh yeah, I'm a Gemini.

thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Offhand, i'd say that you're trying to install a SCSI module at boot
time, and it's failing because the card doesn't exist.

cat /etc/modules to find out what modules are being loaded at boot.

You should probably use /dev/mcd (or link /dev/cdrom to /dev/mcd).

 and it also says:
  Failed initialization of WD-7000 SCSI card! 
  scsi: o hosts 
  scsi: detected total

The default kernel has a module for scsi and the probe fails, since
there are no scsi devices.  Ignore it.  

My advice would be to compile your own kernel after you get things
running and configure it only have the features (built-in or module)
that your hardware requires.  This will avoid these types of messages.

 
 More hardware info: Micron 486DX 100, CD is Mitsumi FX001D. The

Cdrom Problems

1999-04-14 Thread W.S. van Oijen




Hello,

I want to install Debian from my 
CD-Rom (the Base system I already installed from floppy's), but Debian does not 
want me to: it does not recognize my CD-Rom. I have an unknown brand - Megabitz, 
model 8000 AT - which says to be PIN-Compatible with the Sony 
CDU31a. So, I tried all sorts of settings with the cdu31a driver, but none of 
these worked. I also tried other drivers (cdrom, sbpcd etc.) but nothing was 
successful yet. Has anybody got an idea what else I can do? 



Re: Cdrom Problems

1999-04-14 Thread Jens B. Jorgensen
I'm guessing when you set up support for the device you didn't pass
parameters for it. Unfortunately for this device this is necessary since
the driver can't/won't autoprobe for the device. Here's the snippet from
the CDROM-Howto:

  4.3.3.  Cdu31a Driver



 Principal author: Corey Minyard ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Multi-session support: yes
   Multiple drive support: no
  Loadable module support: yes
 Reading audio frames: yes
 Auto-probing: no
  Device file: /dev/cdu31a, major 15
   Configuration file: cdu31a.h
 Kernel config option: Sony CDU31A/CDU33A CDROM support?
  README file: cdu31a




  This driver accepts a kernel command line of the form:



   cdu31a=io-address,interrupt,PAS
  The first number is the I/O base address of the card (e.g. 0x340). The

  second is the interrupt number to use (0 means to use polled i/o). The

  optional third parameter should be PAS if the drive is connected to
  a Pro-Audio Spectrum 16 sound card, otherwise left blank.

  If the driver is loaded as a module, it uses a slightly different
  format. When loading the driver using the modprobe or insmod command,
  the parameters take the form:

   cdu31a_port=io-address cdu31a_irq=interrupt

  The base io-address is required while the interrupt number is
  optional.
  The device file can be created using:

   # mknod /dev/cdu31a b 15 0

  See the file cdu31a for more information on this driver.

  Also see the Web page put together by Jeffrey Oxenreider
  ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) that covers a lot of common problems with these
  drives. It can be found at
  http://www.infinet.com/~zureal/cdu31a.html.

It could also be that time of the CD-ROM's life when it has to go and meet
it's maker...It's a good possibility as you say it also occurs in NT. I
think the likelyhood of the BIOS settings screwing it up are minimal (I've
found linux to be very robust when it comes to using CD-ROM drives).

The awful thing is that I got this message _only_ from the Official

Yes. There are some files on the CD, which cannot be read by the

e.g. I cannot read a symbolic link stable - bo, so I even cannot 
install any package with dselect.

 I read this in the cdrom HOWTO. Where should I add it?
I should be the last one to tell you and I hope someone will give you a
better answer -

I think you should include it in /etc/lilo.conf

See how I added the fact that mem=128M bytes in my system; I think you do
the same thing with another append

boot=/dev/hda1
root=/dev/hda1
compact
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
delay=20
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
append=mem=128M
read-only

As I said I am complete novice but I think I saw somewhere in the HowTos
that you may add append=hdd=cdrom

Good luck

cdrom problems

1997-10-26 Thread ITom - WebIroda
Hello!

I've installed v1.3.1 from the Official Debian Binary cd, I've used 
a noname 24x cdrom drive for installation. Now I had to give back 
that drive, now I have a Creative/Matshita CR-581 quad-speed drive. 

Every time I mount a cd with the command line:
itom# mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/hdd /cdrom
I get a message which says: '/dev/hdd: media changed' which I didn't 
receive once with the other drive. Is this an error, or what?

The second thing is that when I try to use dselect I get an error 
message, (I'm sorry, I don't remember exactly) which says that 'a bad 
or corrupted or sg. like that cd detected, using cruft (?), 
interleaved files not (yet) supported'. I didn't have any problems 
with the other drive with this Debian cd.

Does anyone has any ideas about it?
This Matshita drive is connected to the secondary ide controller for 
slave mode (like the other was).

Pse excuse me a little offtopic:
I had problems with this drive under win95, too, but changing the 
driver program from a usual cdatapi.sys to a cr_atapi.sys helped.

Thanks in advance,

ITom

I thought this was normal.  It means the kernel's noticed you've got a
different CD-ROM in than last time it looked.

 The second thing is that when I try to use dselect I get an error 
 message, (I'm sorry, I don't remember exactly) which says that 'a bad

If it didn't recognise it properly (rare now) maybe adding hdd=cdrom
