 Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2005 10:38 am Post subject: can't mount cdrom |
 |
|
Hello
Yesterday I did a new Gentoo stage1 install. Everything seemed to work, but now discovered i can't access the cdrom drive. I tried | Code: | | mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom |
but it says | Quote: | | mount: special device /mnt/cdrom/cdrom0 does not exist |
It's an ordinary IDE-device.
I made a costum kernel (gentoo-sources 2.6.13-r3 (x86)) with | Code: | | genkernel --menuconfig all |
Is there the possibility that I have deactivated some kernel-features that are needed for the cdrom to work? If yes, which?
my /etc/fstab is
| Code: |
/dev/sda2 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda3 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda4 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0 |
Is it important how much space is between the words or could i just write the file down with the words seperated only by one spacebar hit? |

If it is a normal IDE device, it is probably /dev/hdb (or c, or d). Try mounting that instead of /dev/cdroms/cdrom0.
Look in the bootlog (give the command "dmesg") to see what device the CD Rom player is.

Thank you. Yes you're right. It is hda since i use only sata drives.
But i still wonder why it's sometimes cdrom0 and sometimes hda on the same system.[/code] |

Does it work now?
isn't the /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 just a link to /dev/hda or whatever the CD ROm is?
