Hello!
Howdy!
on my Laptop i have the problem, that i can't access the dvd-reader/writer....
i put in a tested dvd, try to mount it, and get: mount /dev/hdc /mnt mount: you must specify the filesystem type
huh?
Try `-t auto'
Some CD/DVD's may be UDF.
Is the DVD blank or already written to? This wasn't specified (I assume written to, so just want to make sure it is).
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt mount: /dev/hdc already mounted or /mnt busy
# mount
See what's already mounted. It may also be on /media/cdrom
laptop:~# lsof /mnt
laptop:~# laptop:~# lsof /dev/hdc
laptop:~#
ehm...
Try making a sub directory inside /mnt (like /mnt/cdrom) and try mounting it there. There may already be devices mounted inside of /mnt (lsof /mnt doesn't show anything because `/mnt' specifically isn't being accessed, but something inside is).
strangely i see the drive in /proc/ide, on boot i get: Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2 ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx ICH5: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:1f.1 PCI: Enabling device 0000:00:1f.1 (0005 -> 0007) ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:1f.1[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 193 ICH5: chipset revision 2 ICH5: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ide0: BM-DMA at 0x2060-0x2067, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0x2068-0x206f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio hda: IC25N060ATMR04-0, ATA DISK drive Using anticipatory io scheduler ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 hda: max request size: 1024KiB hda: 117210240 sectors (60011 MB) w/7884KiB Cache, CHS=16383/255/63, UDMA(100) /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2 p3 < p5 p6 p7 > hdc: HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GWA-4040N, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
a grep on lsmod shows that the correct modules are loaded:
ide_cd 42656 0 cdrom 40732 1 ide_cd
ide_generic 1408 0 ide_disk 19296 6 ide_core 139940 4 ide_cd,ide_generic,piix,ide_disk
just to be sure that no system like autofs etc are installed:
laptop:~# ps aux |grep auto
root 22117 0.0 0.0 1548 476 pts/5 S+ 09:02 0:00 grep auto
laptop:~#
i have discover installed though....
i am at the end of my clues, don't know what is going wrong and how to fix this....
any hint welcome!
