I finally got my drives working. (Like anyone cares). Here's my problem now....I had them (both drives) working and I could click on the desktop icons and access the drives, but I was not able to access the drives under CDToast or KonCD. So I made the scsi-ide connection and now they both appear as a scsi device and work with my burning programs, but now they won't mount from my desktop, even when I change the path (if the path is right.../dev/hdb /media/cdrecorder). Ugggghhhh! Here's some info (sorry about the quantity, but better than being asked for it later): FSTAB /dev/hdc /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/hdb /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 BOOT.LOCAL # . /etc/rc.config # # Here you should add things, that should happen directly after booting # before we're going to the first run level. modprobe ide-scsi /sbin/insmod parport /sbin/insmod parport_pc io=0x278, irq=5 /sbin/insmod ppa LILO #restricted append="hdb=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi" boot=/dev/hda #compact # faster, but won't work on all systems. lba32 vga=normal message=/boot/message menu-scheme=Wg:kw:Wg:Wg read-only prompt timeout=80 # End LILO global Section CAT /PROC/SCSI/SCSI Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: SONY Model: CD-RW CRX175A1 Rev: 5YS2 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: MATSHITA Model: CD-ROM CR-586 Rev: KS14 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 LS -AL CDROM CDRECORDER lrwxrwxrwx 1 tom root 9 Feb 18 21:33 cdrecorder -> /dev/scd0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 tom root 9 Feb 18 21:33 cdrom -> /dev/scd1 CDRECORD -SCANBUS scsibus0: 0,0,0 0) 'SONY ' 'CD-RW CRX175A1 ' '5YS2' Removable CD-ROM 0,1,0 1) 'MATSHITA' 'CD-ROM CR-586 ' 'KS14' Removable CD-ROM IDE-SCSI MOD IS LOADED CAT /PROC/SYS/DEV/CDROM/INFO linux:/home/tom # cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info CD-ROM information, Id: cdrom.c 3.12 2000/10/18 drive name: sr1 sr0 drive speed: 32 40 drive # of slots: 1 1 Can close tray: 1 1 Can open tray: 1 1 Can lock tray: 1 1 Can change speed: 1 1 Can select disk: 0 0 Can read multisession: 1 1 Can read MCN: 1 1 Reports media changed: 1 1 Can play audio: 1 1 Can write CD-R: 0 1 Can write CD-RW: 0 1 Can read DVD: 0 0 Can write DVD-R: 0 0 Can write DVD-RAM: 0 0 !!!!THAT'S IT!!!!

These should be links to /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1.

It can only have one mount point, and one dev, but you can have multiple links pointing to the dev. -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871

Yup! In actual fact, my cdrom is a DVD-player. So, a more-comprehensive view of my fstab is: /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 And the corresponding /dev links are: gordonp@oilslick:/dev > ls -al cdrom cdrecorder dvd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jan 19 11:14 cdrecorder -> /dev/scd1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Feb 17 15:33 cdrom -> /dev/scd0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jan 19 11:14 dvd -> /dev/scd0 The references to dvd and cdrom are identical, it's just that some programs *need* to refer to one or the other (or else they barf).
So I made the scsi-ide connection and now they both appear as a scsi device and work with my burning programs, but now they won't mount from my desktop, even when I change the path (if the path is right.../dev/hdb /media/cdrecorder).
I happen to use Ximian/Gnome/Sawfish, and can right-click on the desktop to bring up a menu, allowing me to mount any of these. I can also mount them from a console (both situations as a 'user'). For burning, I've only ever done data-CD's, often starting with 'mkisofs' at the command-line, then KonCD under X-windows. DVD-movies using Xine. So, you should be able to get what you want! Here's another thought - let's remove the GUI/desktop configuration aspect. With your fstab modified to *NOT* refer to /dev/hdc, but rather /dev/cdrom, open a console, stick a CD in your cdrom, and try manually mounting it, as a user: mount /dev/cdrom If that doesn't work, try again as 'root', then tackle the permissions issue. If neither works, consider fstab alterations, or /dev symlink variations. HTH!

Can I do this?? /dev/hdc /media/cdrom /dev/hdb /media/cdrecorder /dev/scd1 /media/cdrom /dev/scd0 /media/cdrecorder In other words, point 2 different mounts to one file? If so, what entries would I make? If not, why? I right mouse on my desktop (KDE 2.2.2) and select New - CD-ROM. I then select /dev/hdc and /media/cdrecorer. I then click ok and double click on it but it can't find /dev/hdc. When I do a cdrecord -scanbus, it shows the drive being scd0. So I tried /dev/scd0 /media/cdrecorder and I get an error like "can't find /" Tom -----Original Message----- From: Gordon Pritchard [mailto:gordon.pritchard@techbc.ca] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 8:58 AM To: tom@neuro-logic.com Cc: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] mounting cd-rom cd-rw On Tue, 2002-02-19 at 03:08, Joe & Sesil Morris (NTM) wrote:
