I have a Teac CD-Rom and a Plextor-CDRW. I can mount cdroms inside the Plextor CDR, but when I try to mount a cdrom in the Teac-Drive, the whole system freezes (have to reset). I found a few similar threads in this forum, but couldn't manage to fix the problem. The situation is:

I am using the actual Gentoo-Sources Kernel with the SCSI-Stuff compiled in (not as modules):

Code:
[*] SCSI support
[*] SCSI CD-ROM support
[*] SCSI generic support
[*] Enable vendor-specific extensions
[ ] Probe all LUNs on each SCSI device
[*] Verbose SCSI error reporting (kernel size +=12K)

[*] Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disc/cdrom/tape/floppy support
[ ] Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support
[*] SCSI emulation support
[*] Generic PCI bus-master DMA support
[*] USE PCI DMA by default when available

[*] ISO 9660 CDROM filesystemsupport
[*] Microsoft Joliet CDROM extensions



As I have no IDE-CDROM-support in the kernel I do not pass any scsi-related options to the kernel in my grub.conf.

I think, my devices are now

Code:
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 --> Plextor
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1 --> Teac


I have system links in /dev:
Code:
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           34 Jan  1  1970 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 -> ../scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           34 Jan  1  1970 /dev/cdroms/cdrom1 -> ../scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/cd


This is the output for "cdrecord -scanbus":
Code:
Cdrecord 2.01a14 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2003 Jörg Schilling

        0,7,0     7) *


This is my /etc/fstab:
Code:
...
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0      /brenner                iso9660         user,noauto,ro          0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1      /cdrom                  iso9660         user,noauto,ro          0 0
...


/brenner and /cdrom do exist...

This is my /etc/devfsd.conf:
Code:
# This is done to have non root user use the burner (scan the scsi bus)
REGISTER        ^scsi/host.*/bus.*/target.*/lun.*/generic    PERMISSIONS root.cdrw 660

# Create /dev/cdrom for the first cdrom drive
LOOKUP          ^cdrom$         CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink cdroms/cdrom0 cdrom
REGISTER        ^cdrom/cdrom0$  CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname cdrom
UNREGISTER      ^cdrom/cdrom0$  CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink cdrom

# Create /dev/cdrw for the second cdrom drive
LOOKUP          ^cdrw$          CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink ${mntpnt}/cdroms/cdrom1 cdrw
REGISTER        ^cdrom/cdrom1$  CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink ${devpath} cdrw
UNREGISTER      ^cdrom/cdrom1$  CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink cdrw


Any clue?

Problem seems to be fixed: I recompiled the kernel without PCI-DMA
Code:
[ ] USE PCI DMA by default when available

Now I can mount the drive without any problem.
