 Posted: Thu Jan 06, 2005 4:39 am Post subject: cdrom and floppy mounting problems (solved) |
 |
|
Good day,
I got problem with cdrom and floppy mounting. I'm running Gentoo 2004.3, dev-sources kernel 2.6.10-r1. udev was setup according to "Decibeles UDEC setup". Kernel parameters, udev, /sys, gentoo=nodevfs baselayout and hotplug seems to be in place. The only thing I did not notice was:
| Code: |
mounting sysfs at /sys
mounting ramfs at /dev
configuring system to use udev
populating /dev with device nodes
using /sbin/hotplug for udev management
|
I have
| Code: |
devfs: 2004-01-31 Richard Gooch (rgooch@atnf.csiro.au)
devfs: boot_options: 0x0
|
instead ...
One more thing however, I was having cdrom/floppy mounting problems with devfs setup.
Don't really know what to do now...
Thanks,
night_mercury

I don't understand what problems you mean? What happens when you try to mount the cdrom or floppy? What does the command dmesg say? Does it detect the cdrom and floppy? You should get a line similar to this:
| Code: | | hdd: HL-DT-ST GCE-8525B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive |

Sorry, I was a bit sleepy yesterday night 
My error messages are:
| Code: |
mount /mnt/cdrom/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdroms/cdrom0,
or too many mounted file systems
|
and
| Code: |
mount: /dev/floppy/0 is not a valid block device
|
fstab:
| Code: |
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,users,ro 0 0
/dev/floppy/0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,users,rw 0 0
|
and here is part of ls -all /dev :
| Code: |

playing with file system type does not help. I tried to change mount points to /dev/fd0, /dev/floppy, /dev/cdrom. Unfortunately that did not help either...
I got the following lines in my dmesg:
| Code: |
hdc: ATAPI 40X DVD-ROM DVD-R CD-R/RW drive, 8192kB Cache, UDMA(33)
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
ide-floppy driver 0.99.newide
|
nothing else for floppy though ... |

If you put a data CD in the drive can you mount it like this as root?
| Code: | | mount /dev/hdc /mnt |

Thanks for the tip - CD mounting finally worked. I was actually trying to mount an audio CD before...
Now, how do I mount an audio CD and what could be wrong with the floppy? |

You don't mount an audio CD. Ever. Seriously. If you use XMMS, just configure it to list the songs in a certain directory:
XMMS --> Options --> Preferences --> CD Audio Player --> Configure
Then it will list the tracks in the directory you chose when you insert an audio CD.

Do you have devfs support enabled in your kernel? If you are using udev you should disable that.

I do have devfs in the kernel, but I boot with gentoo=nodevfs option. That shouldnt interfere with udev, correct?
Anyway, I couldn't work with the floppy under devfs neither. The system was continuously trying to mount it. I waited about fife minutes once... The only way to stop it was to eject the floppy. |

Ermmm... it shouldn't, but I've never tried it. When I switched to udev, I compiled a new kernel.

That's strange. Do you use supermount or something like that?

Thanks a lot. Floppy started to work after recompiling kernel without devfs and switching to msdos in fstab.
I tried to mount the floppy and noticed it was singing the old song - was trying to mount it continuously. I stepped away from my computer and saw a message asking me to specify file system type when I was back. So I did the change in it fstab, and it worked.
PS By the way, I had to recompile my nvidia drivers after rebuilding kernel. |

you have to re-merge nvidia-kernel every time you create a new kernel. it's annoying.
i can't get my floppy to work either. I get the same error message, switched over to udev just now. any suggestions? and if you want me to post any of my files, or anything, just let me know. I'm not sure which ones would affect this. |

Timmer, sorry but I'm novice myself. Not sure I can help. My recommendations are:
Regardless of the outcome, the more times you re-compile your kernel the better you become
Let me know if you need more help.
Thanks,
