I added a cdwriter to my Linux box running Mandrake 8.0 and successfully
configured the scsi emulation. I get :
[root@wind /root]# cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 1.9 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 J�rg Schilling
Linux sg driver version: 3.1.17
Using libscg version 'schily-0.1'
scsibus0:
0,0,0 0) 'PHILIPS ' 'PCRW804 ' ' 2,1' Removable CD-ROM
It is /dev/scd0 linked to /dev/cdwriter and mounted at /mnt/cdwriter (I have
a regular cdrom at hdc, /dev/cdrom).
My fstab is:
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0
/mnt/cdwriter /mnt/cdwriter supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdwriter 0 0
The permissions on /mnt/cdrom and /mnt/cdwriter are the same ( owned by
root): 777.
The permissions on /dev/cdrom/and/dev/cdwriter are the same (owned by group
cdrom and crwiter, respectively): 660.
* * The problem? * *
I can't cd to /mnt/cdrom, getting a permission error using konqueror both as
a regular user and root. From a shell prompt, I get :
[root@wind cdrom]# cd /mnt/cdwriter/
bash: cd: /mnt/cdwriter/: Input/output error
I get a weird error message in /var/log/messages:
May 15 20:40:00 wind CROND[2956]: (root) CMD ( /sbin/rmmod -as)
May 15 20:46:30 wind modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-97
May 15 20:46:31 wind last message repeated 3 times
May 15 20:50:00 wind CROND[3078]: (root) CMD ( /sbin/rmmod -as)
May 15 20:53:03 wind modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-97
where char 97 (from devices.txt) is:
Parallel port generic ATAPI interface
0 = /dev/pg0 First parallel port ATAPI device
1 = /dev/pg1 Second parallel port ATAPI device
2 = /dev/pg2 Third parallel port ATAPI device
3 = /dev/pg3 Fourth parallel port ATAPI device
These devices support the same API as the generic SCSI
devices.
I don't have a parallel port ide device; the cdwriter is ide.
My modules.conf is:
alias block-major-11 scsi_hostadapter
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
. . . nothing about char-major-97
I'm at a loss. Any ideas?
