 Posted: Tue May 26, 2009 5:41 pm Post subject: where are my DVD burners?? |
 |
|
Hi all,
I've got some trouble getting my DVDs to work....
For some reason they don't seem to exist...
However:
| Code: | ew-host fabrice # dmesg | grep DVD
[ 1.775219] hdb: RICOH DVD+RW MP5125, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
[ 2.932225] hdd: HL-DT-STDVD-RAM GH22NP20, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive |
but:
| Code: | new-host fabrice # mount /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom/
mount: special device /dev/hdd does not exist |
Even though:
| Code: | new-host fabrice # cat /etc/fstab
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda3 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc1 /home reiserfs noatime 0 2
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/dvd udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
|
Just in case:
| Code: | new-host fabrice # cat /etc/make.conf
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically
# built this stage.
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example.
CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
# WARNING: Changing your CHOST is not something that should be done lightly.
# Please consult http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/change-chost.xml before changing.
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
USE="qt4 qt3 symlink X svg mysql opengl webkit mmx sse2 hal -gnome dvd dvdr cdr"
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"
AUTOCLEAN="yes"
LINGUAS="fr en"
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia"
INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse"
MAKEOPTS="-j3"
PORTAGE_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/overlay/" |
I'm really stuck here... Any help would really be appreciated...

That is if you look in Dev the nodes have been created yes? And done so with the same major/minor?

canabix67,
Its probably time you migrated to the new PATA drivers under SCSI and SATA.
Please post your lspci output

canabix67,
Before we migrate you to the new PATA drivers, check that your kernel has | Code: | | <*> Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support (NEW) |
seleted.
Its on the ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support menu. Without that option, your optical drives will not be detected.

Assuming Neddy Seagoon's answer is not conflating with this does your dmesg say anything about an attempt to make the device node? If udev is failing to make the node then it might be the case that an error is arising in your dmesg to that effect. You might investigate that, and consider whether udev has verbose debugging, not familiar with it so not sure.
If you go to the trouble of building a kernel I suggest, just for kicks, enabling the Driver Core verbose debug messages CONFIG_DEBUG_DRIVER as that may shed some light on things.

canabix67,
If you made that option a module, you could load it with modprobe, no reboot required.
If you did as I suggested, you will need to reboot as its in your kernel file, not a loadable module.

That's exactly what I thought...
Anyhow, I have to thank you for your help as this was the problem.... That must be like my 20st install.... and that never happened to me before....
I guess I overlooked my kernel config... Oh well overconfidence....  )
