I have Debian 3.0 on a SONY VAIO PCG-SR27K. I am unable to get the Sony CD reader (PCGA-CD51/A) that attaches via the PCMCIA slot to work under Debian.
Looking at the suggestions for related architectures on www.linux-laptop.net, it is suggested that /cdrom is improperly linked to /dev/hde and should be linked to /dev/hdc. So I have done rm /dev/cdrom ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom My /etc/fstab has the following entry /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 Yet when I do 'mount /cdrom' (when the CD-reader is plugged in and a CD is in the CD-reader) all I get is mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device What else should I look at?
