The source can't be read.
Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain
data
(e.g: no disc in drive). (/dev/dvd)
what does 'ls -l /dev/dvd' show?
ls: cannot access /dev/dvd: No such file or directory
-- permissions?
-- is the device really /dev/dvd?
In /dev/ I see these only:
cdrom
cdrom1 there is an older cd also in the machine
cdrw1
grepping dmeg I see:
hdb: CD-ROM TW 120D, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
scsi 2:0:0:0: CD-ROMPLEXTOR DVDR PX-755A 1.04 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
Obviously, I do not have the SATA drive set up correctly.
I'm not sure where udev ends and what I have to do with
custom rules or other configs to set up this drive
under 2.6.20-gentoo-r8. Looking in the kernel everything
that looks like what I need for SATA is there, but, I'm
inexperienced with setting up SATA based drives and peripherals
I do vaguely remember something about SATA/SCSI devices
changes, bur, really, I've never had this dvd reading or writing
working on this drive, since it was set up on the amd64
last January.
Well, I don't actually own a SATA device, so I can't help you on the
kernel side (someone else on this list surely can). But one of the
first thing is to read through your dmesg (or search through /sys) to
see whether it is a udev problem or a kernel problem.
(Under udev, if I am not mistaken, the default scripts should have the
cdrom/cdrw/dvd device nodes be symlinks to the devices' real names,
so the question now is: where does those three cd devices you listed
point to? Presumeably some of them points to your other CD that is
appearing as hdb. Is any pointing to a SCSI disk?)
Best to luck,
W
