 |
|
Hello fellow gentoo users. I've been seraching here and tldp.org religously for the past 3 days to figure out how in the heck to mount my CDROM. I've done pretty much everything i can imagine including recompling the kernel 2x. Here is a list of things i've done:
edited my fstab and then unedited it:
| Code: | /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,users,ro 0 0
|
created a folder with:
compiled the kernel with defFS support, IDE support, SCSI support (for burning.. is this jackin stuff up?) CDROM support. I'm pretty sure i've got them all, but maybe not. Everything isn't modulized, they are all built in.
i issue this command :
| Code: | # mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom -o ro -t iso9660
mount: no medium found
|
Now i know its got medium in there i've inserted various disks. Includeing half life CD-ROM, a burned CDR, and a battlefield CD-ROM.
I've done the
| Code: | # cat /proc/devices
22: ide1 |
and i've looked through the dmesg and found my cdrom in there. Everything should be good.
My CD-RW drive is physically attached to the master of IDE channel 2 which corresponds to hdc. What do i do??
I saw on tldp.org this line:
| Quote: | | If you passed any command line options to the boot disk (e.g. "hdc=cdrom") |
can i do this? i don't remember doing that.
Thanks. |

what exactly is the problem?
From what I read you should not have any problem.
To mount a CD, you simple type mount /mnt/cdrom and it whould work |

i just rebooted and got an error messeage while loading. It was a mount problem:
mount failed to load some filesystems.
doing a dmesg it also said
| Code: | | VFS: Mounted root (reiserfs filesystem) readonly. |
the main problem is i can't mount a CDROM drive. Nothing happens. it says no medium found.
Maybe its a fstab problem? i don't really know. |

i dunno what happened. I turned the computer off. Looked at the jumper on the CD-ROM to see if it was set to master. It was. Turned it back on and viola. it mounted.
I didn't change anything so i don't know why. maybe the computer just had to be turned off. I restarted after the kernel rebuild tho.. Hmm. .
anyways, thanks MasterX for the prompt reply, this is truly the best community i've met on the internet help wise. THanks again.

I did not do anything.
Just to remember, to mount a CD is pretty easy. You need kernel support and the right entry in the fstab file. |
