system: debian unstable, kernel 2.4.17 I just installed Sony CRX175A2 CD-r/RW drive (atapi/eide internal drive). It looks like the drive is almost properly recognized, dmesg contains:
hdc: SONY CD-RW CRX175E2, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive Note that there is E instead of A in model number and it says CD/DVD ROM drive while my drive is actually CD-R/RW (no DVD), not sure if that's relevant. Now when I try to mount a data cd or play music cd it says that there is no media in the drive (first command is with data CD in the drive, second command is with the music CD in drive): jojda:/home/erik# mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: No medium found jojda:/home/erik# workbone ÚÄÄÄÄ´ number pad ÃÄÄÄÄ¿ ³ ³ ³ þþ || |o ³ ³ ³ ³ |p ## o| ³ ³ ³ ³ pp .. oo ³ ³ ³ ³ quit ? ³ ³ ³ ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ /dev/cdrom: No medium found I tried to use the SCSI emulation but cannot find the docs how to do it, I enabled the drivers, the kernel help mentions that there has to be a kernel option hdc=scsi, but when I included this option in lilo (in append) it errored out. line from /etc/lilo.conf append = "hdc=scsi" error message: Kernel command line: auto BOOT_IMAGE=linux ro root=304 hdc=scsi ide_setup: hdc=scsi -- BAD OPTION and the /dev/scd0 does not work: jojda:/home/erik# mount /dev/scd0 /mnt mount: /dev/scd0 is not a valid block device I've read "The Linux CD-ROM HOWTO" and "CD-Writing HOWTO" but it only mentions scsi emulation with no real info on how to set it up. here's the list of modules I have currently loaded jojda:/home/erik# lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted ide-cd 26272 0 (autoclean) isofs 24224 0 (autoclean) inflate_fs 17760 0 (autoclean) [isofs] sg 28068 0 (autoclean) (unused) sr_mod 11800 0 (autoclean) (unused) scsi_mod 84648 2 (autoclean) [sg sr_mod] cdrom 28384 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd sr_mod] tdfx 34904 1 ipt_MASQUERADE 1216 1 (autoclean) iptable_nat 12724 0 (autoclean) [ipt_MASQUERADE] ip_conntrack 12588 1 (autoclean) [ipt_MASQUERADE iptable_nat] parport_pc 14244 1 (autoclean) lp 6624 0 (autoclean) parport 23456 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp] snd-seq-midi 3136 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-synth-emu8000 4740 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-synth-emux 22656 0 (autoclean) [snd-synth-emu8000] snd-seq-virmidi 2504 0 (autoclean) [snd-synth-emux] snd-util-mem 1104 0 (autoclean) [snd-synth-emu8000 snd-synth-emux] snd-synth-opl3 8348 0 (autoclean) (unused) snd-seq-instr 4048 0 (autoclean) [snd-synth-opl3] snd-seq-midi-emul 4176 0 (autoclean) [snd-synth-emux snd-synth-opl3] snd-ainstr-fm 1444 0 (autoclean) [snd-synth-opl3] snd-seq-oss 22624 0 (unused) snd-seq-midi-event 2584 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-virmidi snd-seq-oss] snd-seq 35628 2 [snd-seq-midi snd-synth-emux snd-seq-virmidi snd-synth-opl3 snd-seq-instr snd-seq-midi-emul snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event] snd-pcm-oss 34944 0 (unused) snd-mixer-oss 8864 0 [snd-pcm-oss] snd-card-sbawe 5920 0 snd-sb16-dsp 5120 0 [snd-card-sbawe] snd-pcm 45664 0 [snd-pcm-oss snd-sb16-dsp] snd-sb16-csp 15200 0 [snd-card-sbawe] snd-sb-common 5848 0 [snd-card-sbawe snd-sb16-dsp snd-sb16-csp] snd-opl3 5120 0 [snd-synth-opl3 snd-card-sbawe] snd-hwdep 3584 0 [snd-sb16-csp snd-opl3] snd-timer 9760 0 [snd-seq snd-pcm snd-opl3] snd-emu8000 10336 0 [snd-synth-emu8000 snd-card-sbawe] snd-mpu401-uart 2448 0 [snd-card-sbawe snd-sb16-dsp] snd-rawmidi 11392 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-virmidi snd-mpu401-uart] snd-seq-device 3728 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-synth-emu8000 snd-synth-emux snd-synth-opl3 snd-seq-oss snd-seq snd-opl3 snd-emu8000 snd-rawmidi] snd 23304 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-synth-emux snd-seq-virmidi snd-util-mem snd-synth-opl3 snd-seq-instr snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-card-sbawe snd-sb16-dsp snd-pcm snd-sb16-csp snd-sb-common snd-opl3 snd-hwdep snd-timer snd-emu8000 snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device] soundcore 3268 10 [snd] 8139too 12960 2 (autoclean) usb-uhci 20932 0 (unused) usbcore 50976 1 [usb-uhci] nls_cp437 4384 2 (autoclean) vfat 9180 1 (autoclean) fat 28792 0 (autoclean) [vfat] serial 44832 0 (autoclean) isa-pnp 27464 0 (autoclean) [snd-card-sbawe serial] ip_tables 10272 4 [ipt_MASQUERADE iptable_nat] unix 13700 98 (autoclean) jojda:/home/erik# any ideas?
