Hi all
Thanks to Tor for his help on the ide-scsi problem. Just a simple question thats been bugging me for the last couple of hours. After putting hdc=ide-scsi into lilo to give me scsi emulation for my burner on hdc, what needs changing in /etc/fstab to get the burner working normally?
The drive is a Samsung DVD/CD-Writer which works when using xcdroast. When I try and mount the drive normally I get :could not mount /cdrom. /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device.
The relevent lines in fstab are:
/dev/cdrecorder /cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
I guess it is something really simple.
It is. With the SCSI emulation the IDE device (/dev/hd[a,b,c,d]) turns into an SCSI device usually /dev/scd0 (0,0,0 in cdrecord btw.). "rm /dev/cdrom; ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom" should cure your problem.
