scd0 not recog. as block dev. (what is insmod driver)
Dear Debian users, I am installing Debian 1.1.4. (So I am new to Debian.) I have a problem. Mouting cdrom (/dev/scd0) fails in `dselect`. In the reboot message after installation of BASE system, system says ... ncr53c8xx : at PCI bus 0, device 12, function 0 ... scsi0 : ncr53c8xx (rel 1.12a) scsi : 1 host. Vendor QUANTUM Model :TRB850S Type: ... Detected scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Vendor TOSHIBA Model: Type: CD-ROM ... scsi : detected 1 SCSI disk total. ... It looks scsi driver is running without problem. Root partition in SCSI disk is mounted and accessible without problem. However, if I try to mount the cdrom # mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/scd0 as a block device (maybe `insmod driver`?) # The kernel is the one in buzz-updates/disk-i386/special-kernels and called boot1440_2.0.5-1.bin Is this kernel not suitable ? What is this insmod driver ? Please help me to mount SCSI CDROM.

The CDROM driver is a module, which was not being installed because install failed to run depmod -a. Do depmod -a, and reboot. The kernel is the one in buzz-updates/disk-i386/special-kernels and called boot1440_2.0.5-1.bin Is this kernel not suitable ? What is this insmod driver ? Please help me to mount SCSI CDROM. insmod driver is pretty useless advice, isn't it? insmod is the command to insert a module. They are trying to say insmod driver, where driver stands for the module containing the driver for your CDROM drive. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
