Hi,

I've purchased a Freecom FS-1 CD-RW for my Dell Latitude C400, but i can't seem to get it working.

Here's how I try do it:


» Plug-in the cdrom in the usb port

Code:
root@tokyo / # dmesg | tail
usb-storage: device found at 4
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
  Vendor:           Model: RW8240A           Rev: 1.00
  Type:   CD-ROM                             ANSI SCSI revision: 00
Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi2, channel 0, id 0, lun 0,  type 5
usb-storage: device scan complete
root@tokyo / #


» Try to mount /dev/sg0

Code:
root@tokyo / # mount /dev/sg0 /mnt/cdrom/ -t iso9660
mount: /dev/sg0 is not a block device
root@tokyo / #


I can't get through this, i've googled for a solution but couldn't found it. In your opinion, what seems to be the problem?

Here's the ls for /dev/sg0

Code:
root@tokyo / # ls /dev/sg0  -l
lr-xr-xr-x  1 root root 36 Apr  1 15:51 /dev/sg0 -> scsi/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/generic
root@tokyo / #


Tried also to mount /dev/scsi/host2/bust0/target0/lun0/generic instead of /dev/sga0 (duh). Same error.

Thanks in advance.

Solved!!!

Forgot to add "SCSI CD-ROM Support" in kernel.

Code:
root@tokyo / # mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom/ -t iso9660
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
root@tokyo / #


Yeah! :D
