Re: [newbie] XCDroast primary read device.
John, Thank you for your mail. There may be a number of deviations between our software systems. I am assuming Mandrake 9.0. Would you kindly send me your /etc/lilo.conf file to examine. While you clearly find your cdroms, there may be an inconsistency. On your /etc/fstab file on lines referring to cdroms, the 'user,' is missing. Please refer to my arrangement. Please left click the 'Removable Media' icon and right click the cdrom (1) the properties, followed by tab 'URL'. Please state the shown address. Please let me know of these three points and only hope that this problem can be resolved. With seasons greetings, Malcolm Candlish.

Re: [newbie] XCDroast primary read device.
Anne, mtab should be dynamic, written by the system, based on mounted partitions/drives. To verify this, open a terminal window and su to root. Presuming that your LS120 is mounted: Open /etc/mtab and take a look at how it lists your LS120. Close the file, making no changes. Next, make a copy of your current /etc/fstab file (e.g. fstab.original). Then open and edit the line referring to your LS120, setting it to match the /dev scsi-emulation entry. Save the altered fstab file (as fstab). Now issue the command: umount /mnt/LS120 (or whatever it's called in /mnt). If you open the /etc/mtab file now, you should no longer see the LS120 listed. Close the file without making changes. Issue the command: mount /mnt/LS120 (or appropriate). Again, open /etc/mtab. You should now see the LS120 listed at the bottom of the file with the new settings you just gave it. Presuming that all is, as listed above, you can test to see if your system and the LS120 will play nicely with the new settings. If they don't, simply copy the fstab.original to fstab, unmount and remount the drive and you should be back to the way it was before starting the experiment. I run 9.0 with supermount with no problems (hda, hdb, dvd, cd-rw, iomega zip drive). I was reluctant to change the settings for the dvd drive to scsi emulation...but finally make the change to lilo and fstab (thank you, Malcolm, for the push). I even 'moved' the cdrw from scsi0 to scsi1 in fstab and set dvd as scsi0 (it's the master on the bus). All is working well and I now have a reader and writer in xcdroast and mdk install recognizes and installs from dvd drive, as before. I'm not sure whether this has any effect or not...but this box is an (ugh!) HP Pavilion, 500 MHz that came with cable select set on the drives. When I dumped the 19GB bigfoot and installed 2 IBM 40GB drives, I was too cheap/lazy to buy new cables and install as master/slave on hds or rom drives.

Anne, I apologise I did not make myself sufficiently clear.

Re: [newbie] XCDroast primary read device.
Alex, Thank you for your kind input. My cdrom and cdrw now work under ide-emulation and also my reader works correctly in supermount. After much fiddling I changed mtab and it seemed to come together.

Re: [newbie] XCDroast primary read device.
Charlie, My /etc/mtab file would appear to be static, with a constant content as follows:- /dev/hdb5 / ext3 rw 0 0 none /proc proc rw 0 0 none /dev devfs rw 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts rw,mode=0620 0 0 /dev/hdb6 /home ext3 rw 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom supermount ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,dev=/dev/scd1,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 none /mnt/floppy supermount rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync,dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/nt ntfs ro,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15 0 0 It may follow that supermount may require this file. However, having corresponded with you before, accept that you have a deeper knowledge of this area than I. Seasons greetings to an old friend from Malcolm Candlish.

Re: [newbie] XCDroast primary read device.
Anne, Having fiddled with mtab my supermount works well. Whether that is mere luck or otherwise I don't know. However, while fiddling I had a box pop up referring to no entry in mtab. You may notice the 'ro' read only and 'rw' read write in the cdrom lines in mtab. Prior to doing all of this, I did save the original files in case of trouble and would advise others to do the same. With seasons greetings, Malcolm Candlish.

The mtab file is the 'mount table' (dynamic)as opposed to fstab; 'file system table' (static) which contains instructions to the kernel for handling these devices including what file systems to expect there as well as locations and permissions. Mtab shouldn't show anything unless the device is mounted I believe. When you read it with no devices mounted there won't be any there, ya think? Try again with media in the drive maybe. You know, mount a disk?

I wondered at first if it was because you were using 'auto' mounting, not supermount, as I do. But then I realised that my LS120 drive is set up to mount the way you do, and my mtab has the following line: /dev/sda /mnt/LS120 vfat rw,noexec,sync,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 which obviously is preparing it for mounting from the icon. I'm not sure just what is happening here. As I undertand it you can, from a desktop icon, mount and unmount cdrom and cd-rw without problems, yet mtab doesn't recognise their existance.

Re: [newbie] XCDroast primary read device.
On the other hand, you could take my solution - I use the cd-rw as both reader and writer. I have to burn an image if I want a copy, but for most purposes it causes me no problems whatsoever.

Re: [newbie] XCDroast primary read device.
Alex, Yes, thank you it works! However, the cost is to loose my normal cd reader function and this is a high price. It will pay me to go to the 'command line' when needed. A pity there seems no way around this? I really thank you for your input. Malcolm Candlish.

Re: [newbie] XCDroast primary read device.
Tom, Thank you for your comments. I can work the reader for XCDRoast if the cd reader is in scsi emulation form, but the trouble is it will not operate as a normal cd reader for other purposes. In view of this I shall take your advice and drop emulation for the reader and resort to the 'command line' for that occasion. Thank you for your input. Malcolm Candlish.

Daniel, Thank you for your reply. I have now seen your thread and have tried to alter my /etc/lilo.conf file with little effect so far! Have you tried kb3. Seasons greetings, Malcolm Candlish.

Re: [newbie] XCDroast primary read device.
Charles, Thank you for your reply.I had no idea that both the hdc reader and hdd writer rom were to be in scsi emulation mode. This I fear may disrupt my reader rom in other duties? At the end of my reply I am adding my significant files should you wish to look at them. I am grateful for your time. What is kb3? I have not heard of this; is it any good and how can I obtain it.

Re: [newbie] XCDroast primary read device.
Alex, I had no idea that the reader cdrom which is my hdc should be emulating a scsi device as does my cdrwrom on hdd. However, I tried to repeat line 12 but quoting hdc in my /etc/lilo.conf and in running it claimed 'line 13 unsupported by lilo'.
