Hello all,

I've a CD-RW and a Simple CD/DVD-ROM, on my gentoo with a gentoo - sourcers 2.4.20-rc3 kernel, and i'm having troubles...not on burning cd's..but on mounting simple data / audio on my Drives..and i really don't know what's happening..

I've all the iso9660, vfat, etc..etc.. compiled on the kernel...
and this is my CD/DVD-ROM & CD-RW ...

Code:

bash-2.05b# dmesg | grep ROM
hda: MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8585, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdb: HL-DT-ST GCE-8480B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hda: ATAPI 40X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12
hdb: ATAPI 40X CD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache
bash-2.05b#


the problem is when i do a..

Code:

bash-2.05b# mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 -t iso9660 /mnt/cdrom/
mount: block device /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdroms/cdrom0,
       or too many mounted file systems
bash-2.05b#


I can't even mount the CD's on the CD-RW ..cos it gives-me the same error...and really guys..this bugs me alot..i don't really know what this could be...
and if someone have a Hint, please help me Out...

Thanks in advanced...& Stay Fresh...

hi,

do you have generic scsi set up correctly ? you need it for the cdrw, and you have to pass hdb=ide-scsi to your kernel

Hi,

yeah kuemmel i've all that..the problem is not Burning CD's...cos i've successfully done that...the problem is that i can't mount any DATA or AUDIO CD on my CD-ROM Drives (hda or hdb) it just give me that strange error :\ and i don't know why....i can't use my mp3 cd's ..and that sucks.. :|

i'm gonna try gentoo-sources 2.4.20-rc5 this time...
if this doesn't work...i think i'l jump to vanilla as a last try out... :\

I'm Sad..

In your /etc/fstab create a line similar to this one:

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat rw,users,noauto 0 0

Then type the following as root from the command line:

mkdir /mnt/floppy

You should then be able to mount the floppy as a regular user.

You will not be able to mount audio cds because they are not mounted in the regular way that data cds are. To play them, try this.

At a command prompt as root emerge xmms

At a command prompt as a regular user type:
mkdir ~/audio

Open Xmms, click on options, then preferences, click on the audio io/plugins tab, select cd audio player, click configure, for the device select /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 (if your cdrom device is there, if not, type the correct entry). In the directory box type /home/yourusername/audio.

That should get you playing audio cds. For some reason after I did this I had to log out then log back in.
