I'm not far ahead of you, so this is fresh in my mind... On Fri, 7 Sep 2001, Erle Robinson wrote:
Help! I am running Suse 7.2 with a cdrw and a cdr When I installed 7.2, but before I went througr the steps to emulate scsi, I had no trouble mounting discs. However, since I have emulated scsi, no cds are recognized. WHen you say you have 'emulated scsi', have you:
1) added 'append hd[x]=ide-scsi hd[y]=ide-scsi' to your lilo.conf? 2) run /sbin/lilo to reinstall the MBR? 3) added '/sbin/modprobe ide-scsi' to /etc/init.d/boot.local 4) reboot to implement all these changes? As root, run `cdrecord -scanbus`. Does it find both the CDROM and the CDRecorder? Are they assigned the scsi device numbers you expected?
The message I get is Could not mount filesystem /dev/cdrecorder : Input/output error mount: you must specify the filesystem type
The pertinent entries in /etc/fstab are
/dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 dev/cdrom /media/cdreom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
I also did ln -sf /dev/scd0 /media/cdrecorder ln -sf /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom
Do these devices correspond to the output of cdrecord -scanbux?
Under /root there is /media/cdrecorder /media/cdrom
There are also two link files called cdrecorder and cdrom
I would sorely like help in getting this to work where not only can I read from my installation discs but also play music cds
With the above modules and links in place, I can mount media in either drive, and I can play audio CDs in the CDROM. ANybody know how to specify the device explicitly to the CD player, so I can play audio CD's in the cdrecorder? My life isn't chaotic enough - I want to try some scratchin'! Rick Green
