LTSP 4: Local app needs local cd-rom drive Von: Sebastian Schaper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Datum: 07.01.2004 00:22 Hi all, I am building a diskless (quiet!) networked mp3 player for the livingroom using the GiantDisc project (http://www.giantdisc.com) for the mp3 part and LTSP for the diskless booting part. Giantdisc is a perl script which is controlled by a palm OS PDA and talks to a MySQL database which holds the information about the music files. I am setting up the perl script to run locally on a "special" LTSP client. The LTSP part works fine, and after whole bunch of files and libraries that I copied to the /opt/ltsp/i386 tree, giantdisc is working as well. The only problem I still have with this setup is that I can't seem to get access to the local IDE CD-ROM drive on the client. Since this is a local app, there is no need for accessing the drive over the network with nbd or the like, so I would expect that after loading the necessary modules, I would be able to mount cd-roms like I normally would under Linux. I tried loading the ide-cd (and even the ide-disk) module, but there are no /dev/hd[a,b,c,d] entries in the /dev directory. -bash-2.05b$ lsmod Module � � � � � � � � �Size �Used by � �Not tainted ide-cd � � � � � � � � 26720 � 0 cdrom � � � � � � � � �28672 � 0 [ide-cd] ide-disk � � � � � � � �9152 � 0 ide-mod � � � � � � � �65004 � 0 [ide-cd ide-disk] sb � � � � � � � � � � �1728 � 0 (unused) sb_lib � � � � � � � � 31744 � 0 [sb] uart401 � � � � � � � � 5952 � 0 [sb_lib] sound � � � � � � � � �52684 � 0 [sb_lib uart401] soundcore � � � � � � � 3236 � 5 [sb_lib sound] serial � � � � � � � � 48224 � 2 8139too � � � � � � � �14272 � 1 mii � � � � � � � � � � 1008 � 0 [8139too] The BIOS of this PC recognizes the cd-rom drive, so I do not think it is a hardware problem. Does anybody have a hint where I could look? Thanks in advance, Sebastian Schaper ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
