Okay... Now, I managed to get the drive to mount a data CD last night. Then something happened (I rebooted) and it wouldn't work anymore.
Typing 'mount /dvd' or 'mount /dev/dvd' gives me: gandalf:/dev# mount /dvd ide-floppy driver 0.97.sv hdc driver not present mount: /dev/dvd is not a valid block device gandalf:/dev# mount /dev/hdc ide-floppy driver 0.97.sv hdc driver not present mount: can't find /dev/hdc in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab I have the following in my /etc/fstab: [...] /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user 0 0 /dev/dvd /dvd iso9660 defaults,user,noauto,ro 0 0 [...] Also, I have made a symlink of /dev/dvd -> /dev/hdc. However, when I do ls -ltrh /dev/hdc I get brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 Mar 14 2002 hdc while ls -ltrh /dev/dvd gives me lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Aug 9 22:52 dvd -> /dev/hdc Could this have something to do with my problems? I don't think it should, but I suppose it's possible. It seems, actually, that it stopped working after I put the "append="hdc=ide-scsi"" line in my lilo.conf, so I'll try taking that out and see what happens.
