RE: [gentoo-user] cannot mount DVD's
I just discovered that I can't mount DVD's with Gentoo. I'm on Gentoo 1.4 kernel 2.4.20 (gentoo-sources-r8) The drive is an LG IDE and works with the discs I tried under Mandrake. Both Mandrake and Gentoo use ide-scsi for this device. I get the message no medium found, no matter what I do (mount with filesytem options...) Funny. I have the same brand DVD and same kernel. I had some problems mounting as a normal user but not root. I had to find the right /dev and add it to fstab, problems gone. If you've enabled ide-scsi for it, then it should be symlinked somewhere under /dev/cdroms. Cheers! Chris -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Something like mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/dvd, with the device and mount point changed to match *your* system, of course. Hall -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Actually, I believe /dev/cdroms is a devfs thing and if he's not using devfs, he should look under /dev/scdX instead. Using ide-scsi, the drive will appear as a SCSI device, hence the /dev/scd items.

Re: [gentoo-user] cannot mount DVD's
I think I tracked down the problem... It seems that my drive has intermittend problems reading DVD's, which made me think it always failed on gentoo, and always worked on Mandrake. A couple of minutes ago, I managed to get one disc working in Gentoo, so I may need a new drive :-( Thanks for your help!
