Hi, I installed Debian GNU/Linux base system using floppies ( 0.93R6 kernel 1.2.13) My problem is, I have a IDE ATAPI Mitsumi 4X CD ROM connected to first IDE as secondary device which is recognized at boot time
hdb: FX001DE, ATAPI, CDROM I also notice that it loads 'isofs' filesystem . When I try to mount it by 'mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /cdrom' the system hangs ! so is with the following commands 1. mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/hdb /cdrom 2. mount -o ro /dev/hdb /cdrom 3. mount /dev/hdb /cdrom 4. mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdb /cdrom -o,ro,block=2048 The only way out is to hard reset (switch off/on) the system. I had Slackware running (Kernel 1.2.13) which recognizes my CD ROM. My system configuration ----------------------- Pentium -75MHz RAM -8Mb First IDE: 1.2 Gb Hard disk , IDE ATAPI mitsumi CD ROM. Second IDE: 1.6 Gb Hard disk , blank. PS/2 - Bus Mouse. SVGA - Cirrus chip set. Thanks in advance for any advice. Sincerely, Shankar
