Hello All,
After my fresh 7.2 install, which didn't go smooth but succeeded at last, I
have this anoying cdrom problem.
Using data cds is no problem and even supermount works perfectly.
The trouble starts when I want to use a cd-player (kscd in my case, the only
one installed by default).
My setup is thus that my cd-reader is the 2nd device, and my cd-writer the
1st but this didn't cause troubles in the past ( I had MD6.0 e.g.). So I
have /dev/scd0 (cd-writer) and /dev/scd1 (cd-reader). The kernel is told
hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi on boot-up.
When I insert an audio CD, the player says ready and even displays the total
play time and tracks, so nothing wrong so far.
However, if I push play, I immediately get the msg. "ejected". In the
messages-log I get the error you typically get when you try to mount an
audio cd. Then the cdplayer shows ready again, then ejected (with the same
error in the log file) and this goes on till I exit the player. I tried
umounting the supermounted drive but it stays the same. I tried remaking the
devices with MAKEDEV but nothing.
More bizare is that if I direct my player to use the cd-writer drive
(/dev/scd0), this works without a flaw. Of course, I don't hear shit since
that one's not connected to the audo card!
Using 'cdrecord --scanbus' to check, I do not see my 2nd cd-drive; this is
not OK. The kernel during booting sees the drive alright which I can verify
in the /var/log/messages file.
I tried changing the group owner to root but to no avail. I don't see any
difference with my MD6.0 setup I still have on the side (luckily).
Slight difference in the kernel though is that I had ide support as a module
in MD6.0 since I have no IDE drives. Now in 7.2, it was compiled in and
still is after my kernel recompile; yes I even tried that. Maybe I should
make it a module again.
Another anoying thing is the 'block-major-97 can not find' error. Anyone
know where it comes from? In all the /etc/makedev.d/* files there is no
mention of a device with major 97 so you cannot even create one.
Also why the hell is there a scsi-slot-1 alias created?
Can anyone shed some light on this.
The so promissing 7.2 distro is giving me quite some problems!
Thanks palls,
Guy.
