I am in the process of upgrading a machine that has been running 2.0.34 witl an HP 20XT optical jukebox to 2.2.13 The new kernel sees the device just fine, and fdisk reports all parameters correctly. Unfortunately, I cannot read any of the disks. mount returns "you must specify the filesystem type" If I take a blank disk, I can fdisk it, and create a linux partition, no complaints here, but mkfs seems to think the drive capacity is twice the size that it actually is. Fdisk reports a 620mb drive, which is correct, but after running mkfs and mounting the partition, which throws a lot of errors into syslog, a df reports a 1200 mb disk. There is a regular scsi hard drive that was also formatted with 2.0.34, which 2.2.x has no problems with whatsoever, so whatever the problem is, it is isolated to the optical drive. Any hints? I've tried several different 2.2.x kernels, and several diferent boxes, same problem. Used both Adaptec 1542 and 2740 adapters, same problem. Again, when the adaptec driver loads, it detects the drive correctly, and reports a 620mb drive.
