Re: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible
I don't know if this will help, but this is what I did.
In /etc/fstab, I moved the cdrom line above the floppy line. (just for grins)
And also, the device I used was not /dev/hdd it was /dev/scd0.
Once I did those two things everything started working.
I was reading the www.linux-mandrake.com tutorials page is
what gave me that idea to use the scd0. You might want to go
there and read where it talks about getting a cdwriter working
with mandrake. Apparently it tricks the cdwriter by using the
scsi device for it even though it's really IDE. During installation,
it weirdly sets it back to IDE and then it quits working - That's
why it quits working after you install linux-mandrake. The
tutorial helped me understand it some - check it out.
my fstab looks like (partial):
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/scd0 0 0
/mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0 0 0
make sure /dev/cdrom links to /dev/scd0
cd /dev
ls -l cdrom
cdrom - scd0

Hi Alan i am having a similar problem mounting my cd rom, but in this case
i ve trying almost everything ( today i will try to switch the IDE cables
of my cd rom and cd-R to see what happens), and my fstab is exactly like
the one above
--/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom
i have changed it to a thousand different forms and nothing happens, it
sends the following error " unable to accses the specific directory" or the
other error is " inut/output error"... i am thinking that is a hardware
problem with my jumpers because the others device supermount perfectly.
and yes i disabled the supermount and try to make it manual and the same
error occurs.
please if you or something else can help me ...
J---imoh, I didn't realize that you're using supermount.
That line in your /etc/fstab file is not correct, it should be
like the one below:
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom
0 0
and of course the softlink /dev/cdrom should link to /dev/hdd

that statment that CD-R are mounted diferently is not true, because before i made the upgrade to my PC, i was using mandrake 6.1 and have no problems mounting all file system ( linux see the CD-R like a regular CD-Rom at mounting time).. but now the problem is that it says that it is not a valid directory and cant no show files!! -Original Message- From: Joseph S.

RE: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible
Well, it depends on what all you have in your system. /dev/hdd is used for the secondary slave device you have installed. Is there any chance that it may be /dev/hdc or /dev/hdb ? Also, check to see if maybe it's already mounted somewhere (do a 'df' and see if you see /dev/hdx anywhere [with the exception of probably hda]) I'm also assuming this is an IDE cdrom... If not, you may try mounting /dev/scd0 or /dev/sg0 (scsi cdrom and scsi generic respectively). -=Ron=- -Original Message- From: Eduardo Arauz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 08, 2000 4:49 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible friend, im just experimenting the same problem with my mandrake 7.0 it doesnt mount any cd rom, cd writer besides i have another problems with my linux OS. since i changed my board, cpu and ram this past saturday now is a complete messed no even my win 98 could be installed! and my linux is having multiple problems... from modem using, mountig and sound! -Original Message- From: Jim Brown [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, May 05, 2000 3:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:Re: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible Thanks for all of your help and quick responses!!!

I mounted it to /dev/scd0 and I could mount the Linux install disk and get a directory as well as a DOS disk I had laying around, I could mount it and get a directory. That is good. However, when I try to use the kscd program to read a music cd, it just says it has an access error. I made sure the cd drive wasn't mounted to anything, but I can't get kscd to see a music cd. I verified that kscd is pointing to /mnt/cdrom. Should I be trying to mount it somehow? Anyway, this seems odd to me since I thought supermount was supposed to automagically mount and unmount the cds and such for me. Yes, supermount should take care of that.

Re: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible
Jimit sounds like /dev/cdrom is a softlink pointing to /dev/fd0. It should be a softlink pointing to /dev/hdd instead. Alan Jim Brown wrote: Thanks for all of your help and quick responses!!!

Re: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible
Thanks for the info! I did an "ls -l" in the /dev dir and it shows "cdrom - hdd" I tried deleting that and doing "ln -s hdc cdrom" and "ln -s hdb cdrom" etc for different devices. They all still go to the floppy when I get into kscd. I looked at the configuration for kscd and it shows "/mnt/cdrom". I looked at fstab and it shows for the cd: "/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount exec,dev,suid,rw,fs=iso9660 0 0" Alan Shoemaker wrote: Jimit sounds like /dev/cdrom is a softlink pointing to /dev/fd0.

Re: [newbie] CD Rom not accessible
Thanks for all of the helpful answers, I'm getting there I think! Ok, I got the cdrom drive working, well sort of. I mounted it to /dev/scd0 and I could mount the Linux install disk and get a directory as well as a DOS disk I had laying around, I could mount it and get a directory. However, when I try to use the kscd program to read a music cd, it just says it has an access error. I made sure the cd drive wasn't mounted to anything, but I can't get kscd to see a music cd.
