After upgrading my box from 8.1 to 8.2 I get the following error while mounting the cdrom pilchard:~ # mount /dev/cdrom mount: /dev/cdrom: can't read superblock pilchard:~ # mount /dev/cdrom /mnt mount: /dev/cdrom: can't read superblock There is a cd inside the cd-tray (suse-8.2), that works. Some system information: pilchard:~ # cd /dev/ pilchard:/dev # ls -l cdrom lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jun 17 21:15 cdrom -> hdc pilchard:/dev # ls -l hdc brw------- 1 richard disk 22, 0 Mar 14 14:07 hdc pilchard:/dev # ls -l sg[01] crw-r----- 1 root disk 21, 0 Mar 14 14:07 sg0 crw-r----- 1 root disk 21, 1 Mar 14 14:07 sg1 I performed the procedure as explained on the link underneath: http://sdb.suse.de/en/sdb/html/aoezcan_cdrom.html, but no changes same superblock error message. pilchard:/dev # hwscan --list| grep cdrom hY5p.PBJpFDLGuBD: (cfg=yes, avail=yes, need=no) cdrom HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4320B The file hY5p.PBJpFDLGuBD is present and contains: pilchard:/dev # cat /var/lib/hardware/unique-keys/hY5p.PBJpFDLGuBD [General] UniqueID=hY5p.PBJpFDLGuBD HWClass=cdrom Model=HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4320B [Status] Configured=yes Available=yes Needed=no [Hardware] Bus=0x85 Slot=0x2 BaseClass=0x106 SubClass=0x2 ProgIF=0x3 DeviceName=HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4320B RevisionName=1.01 Serial= UnixDevice=/dev/hdc If I'm not mistaken the cdrom treatment in suse-8.1 and 8.2 differ. 8.1 uses ide-scsi while 8.2 has already the plain ide treatment isn't it. May this be a problem? pilchard:/etc/sysconfig # grep INITRD * kernel:INITRD_MODULES="ide-scsi" /boot/grub/menu.lst contains: kernel (hd1,7)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb9 hdc=ide-scsi vga=791 pilchard:/boot/grub # lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted ide-cd 29404 0 (autoclean) cdrom 28192 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd] It would be great if anyone knows how to solve the superblock error message! -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
