I have a G3/350 Blue/White Rev-1 Mac with an Adaptec 2906 SCSI card. The card and the external Sony CDU948S CD-R drive are both recognized in the boot process. However, the drive cannot be mounted. I get "Could not enter directory /mnt/cdrom2"
*** grep cdrom /etc/fstab /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/hde,fs=iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 /mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=iso9660,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0 *** dmesg | grep CD hde: MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8583, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12 Vendor: SONY Model: CD-R CDU948S Rev: 1.0j Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 *** Looking at /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target3/lun0 there is nothing but an empty directory. /dev/cdroms contains cdrom0 but nothing else. I saw the CD-R referred to as sr0 rather than scd0 somewhere, but I can't find it again. As you can see, the SCSI drive is a second drive and a CD-R. The IDE drive works fine, so fstab is set up right, but I think this is a kernel device problem with 8.2 beta. The same card, cables, and drive work fine in Mac OS-9.x and on a PIII Intel box with MDK 8.1. There are no SCSI bus problems and the only variable is 8.2 beta. I see someone else has almost exactly the same problem: http://www.mandrake.com/en/archives/cooker-ppc/2002-02/msg00251.php Any suggestions? Best Regards Tom L.
