C650, Cd drive problems....... Right i've been playing with it and the problems seem to be down to whats happeningh in certain os's! In 7.5.x it's not recognising non mac cds as nothing is installed, that explains part of it. Under OS 8 things are OK most of the time, sometimes it just ignores cds, this seems to be down to things i do, nmot sure what yet!
On the 250mb hd with 7.5.x there is a debian 2.2r2 install, cds always work with this!!! The main problem I am having is regarding installing debian 3.0r0 on the 1gb drive with mac os 8.0 on it. and the problem is this. The cd-rom srive will just not mount in linux, I've got as far as the installer but obviously can't proceed with the install! Anybody got any ideas on this? I've tried paying around in the basic console provided with the debian but can't get the cdrom mounted. a "dmesg|more" says it finds a cdrom on sr0 but there is no sr0 in devs! the mac os (hfs) partition can be mounted fine. ARGHHHH!!!
