Firstly, to use your cdrw for burning cds you need scsi emulation, so don't
freak about the scsi stuff. And /dev/scdX is correct for cdwriters. My
external parallel zip is /dev/sdaX.
Check your /etc/lilo.conf file (assuming you're using lilo as your boot
manager) and if necessary edit (as root): Look for the "label" entry which
matches the option you choose at the lilo boot prompt then look down a couple
of lines for a line that starts wtih append= . If there isn't one, just add
it:
append=" hdX=ide-scsi"
where X is the ide device letter as seen by your system (in your case I think
its 'd')
For example, mine looks like this:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.17-13mdkenterprise
label=2417-13ent
root=/dev/hda13
read-only
optional
vga=788
append=" hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi devfs=nomount mem=nopentium"
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.17-13mdkenterprise.img
** Note my cdrw is /dev/hdc and my cdrom is /dev/hdd. You can do the same if
you have a cdrom drive and want to copy a cd directly.
After saving the file you need to run lilo to save your changes in the mbr,
so again in a console as root type:
# lilo ( or # /sbin/lilo)
Reboot and your cdrw should now be recognised correctly.
Secondly, if you're using the standard kernel that comes with ML8.1
(2.4.8-26mdk) then supermount is broken in that kernel. It works for some
and not for others. You can disable supermount by typing in a console as
root:
# supermount -i disable
Try manually mounting your cdrw drive. First insert a cd then in console as
root, type:
# umount /mnt/cdrom
# mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom
# ls /mnt/cdrom
The first line above unmounts the cdrom drive. Don't worry if it says
'umount: /mnt/cdrom: not mounted'.
The second line mounts the device using the iso9660 filesystem.
And the last line lists files on the mounted cdrom (thats if you didn't get
any errors from the mount command).
If you can manually mount it like this, its really just a matter of clearing
up your fstab file. However I am not familiar with the correct options for
your cdrw with the 2.4.8-26mdk kernel. I'm using 2.4.17.13mdkenterprise
kernel with supermount which I think is quite a bit different (other than the
obvious 'supermount').
So can someone using a similar setup please give Nic a hand with his fstab
file?
HTH somewhat
skinky
PS. Don't forget to make a backup copy of these files before you edit them.
