I'm have problems mounting my cdrom. I assume that supermount was installed
on the system. I have tried mounting the cdrom drive at the command line and
using konqueror with no success. I have two cdroms installed - a TEAC CDRW
and a generic cdrom that did not work in windows, so I am only concerned with
with getting the TEAC to work. It was working OK with a default install of
Mandrake 8.0. When I run HardDrake 3 cdrom devices are detected:
1) Model: 40X CD-ROM
Device: /dev/hdd
Bus Type: ATAPI/IDE
2) Model: CD-W58E
Device: /dev/hdc
Bus Type: ATAPI/IDE
3)Vendor: TEAC
Model: CD-W58E
Device: /dev/scd0
Bus Type: SCSI
Seems that HardDrake is detecting the TEAC drive twice. Also, the TEAC drive
is not a SCSI drive (I think I would have remembered installing a SCSI card
and a big chunk of change leaving my bank account!)
Here is my /etc/fstab that I have not edited:
/dev/hda9 / ext2 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0

In the boot log it looks like a SCSI driver is being loaded for the CD rom:
SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
Vendor: TEAC Model: CD-W58E Rev: 1.0A
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Near the end of the log I found this:
SCSI cdrom error : host 0 channel 0 id 0 lun 0 return code = 28000000
Info fld=0x10, ILI Current sd0b:00: sense key Illegal Request
Additional sense indicates Illegal mode for this track
I/O error: dev 0b:00, sector 64
isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=0b:00, iso_blknum=16, block=16
SCSI cdrom error : host 0 channel 0 id 0 lun 0 return code = 28000000
Info fld=0x10, ILI Current sd0b:00: sense key Illegal Request
Actually, the lines "Additional sense... " to "Info fld=0x10..." is repeated
five or six times. Also, when I do a "ls hd*" in /dev hdc is not there but
when I look for SCSI devices I find scd0.
Any ideas on what I need to do to get the CDrom working? I know this is a
lengthy message but I wanted to include all the information that someone who
really knows hardware and Mandrake would need.
TIA,
