Hello,
I tried to mount my CDROM drive (/dev/hdc) the other day and was
surprised by this message:
Mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/hdc as a block device (maybe
'insmod driver'?)
This happens with both a 2.2.9 and a 2.2.10 kernel, but when I boot using
Tom's root/boot disk (kernel 2.0.36), I can mount /dev/hdc to /cdrom no
problem.
Using 'make menuconfig' I have the following options compiled into the
2.2.10 kernel:
* Normal PC floppy disk support
* Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support
* Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK support
* Include IDE/ATA-2 CDROM support
* CMD640 chipset bugfix support
* RZ1000 chipset bugfix support
* Generic PCI IDE chipset support
* Generic PCI bus-master DMA support
* Use DMA by default when available
* VIA82C586 chipset support (EXPERIMENTAL)
The motherboard is a DFI P5BV3+ mounting an AMD k6-2 400MHz CPU and 64MB
of RAM. Video card is a Diamond V550 driving a Cornerstone 45/101sf 19'
monitor. NIC is a RealTek8029 PCI NE2000 clone. Asound Gold sound card.
Base linux system is SuSE 6.0. /dev/hda is a 13GB WD Caviar formatted
for and loaded with Windows98, /dev/hdb is a WD Caviar 2.5GB my Linux
system is installed on, /dev/hdc is a Vuego 685C 8x CDROM drive. I
regularly boot Linux using a floppy.
Any thoughts on where I could continue to look for the problem?
Thanks,
Sean
