block device
Hey everyone,
I'm getting this message when I try to mount my CD-ROM.
[wilson@galileo wilson]$ mount /mnt/cdrom
mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/cdrom as a block device
(maybe `insmod driver'?)
This happened after I recompiled a new kernel with SCSI emulation. (I need
it to use my IDE HP 8100 CD-RW drive.) Relevent parts of /etc/fstab look
like:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,exec,dev,suid,ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/cdrw /mnt/cdrw iso9660 user,exec,dev,suid,rw 1 1
I moved the /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrw sym links to point to my new
"phantom" SCSI devices.
[wilson@galileo wilson]$ ls -l /dev/cdrom /dev/cdrw
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 20 10:17 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 May 20 10:18 /dev/cdrw -> /dev/scd1
Here's what /proc/scsi/scsi looks like:
[wilson@galileo wilson]$ cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
Vendor: SONY Model: CD-ROM CDU701 Rev: 1.0f
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
Vendor: HP Model: CD-Writer+ 8100 Rev: 1.0f
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Any ideas what's going on?
Thanks.
