i'm using devfs, but it is not in /dev/ide/.... nor in /dev/cdroms/...

Try using the mount point from your /etc/fstab. If you only have the DVD drive, then 'mount /mnt/cdrom' should work. If it is used in addition to a CDROM drive, you will need to add the device to your /etc/fstab.
devfs should have added the DVD drive on bootup, some information should be reviewed using 'dmesg | more'.
Hang in there!

hi,
thanks for replying so fast, but when i do 'mount /mnt/cdrom'
I get the error message 'Device /dev/cdrom/cdrom0 not found'.
What other device should I use in /etc/fstab ?
this is going to be interesting ...

Did dmesg provide any info? Cut and paste the portion that shows the DVD drive being detected, and maybe we can make some sense out of that.

Do you also have a SCSI DVD or CDROM drive installed?
You also may need to check /etc/devfsd.conf. There should be a man page associated with that as well.
I will research your problem a bit, it is time for me to learn more about devfs.

A burner should have a parameter passed to the kernel during the boot process, like 'hdc=ide-scsi' to handle the SCSI emulation done by the ATAPI interface. You may also need the ide-scsi module loaded as well.
Maybe that is enough to bump devfs to make a node for it. I think the device node will also change to something under SCSI devices. (/dev/scsi ?)
Good luck-

I suspect that if you didn't include SCSI Emulation Support, and used ATAPI CDROM support, you would be able to see the device as /dev/hdc.
Skip the hdc=ide-scsi and get yourself a 2.6 kernel.
Oh... And a DVD-RAM isn't a DVD-burner per se. I'd call it a DVD-RAM drive. Then again, maybe it's one of the fabled DVD-R/RAM combo's? (I'm lazy enough so as not to check on Google). |
