From: Weston M. Price [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 18 Sep 2002 00:43:01 + Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Excellentmusic cd's work fine. My confusion on the subject sorry. Thanks for the help everyone But nobody actually gave the complete answer, so some people will continue to have some problems. You know: Don't mount music CDs! You don't know that the device characteristics for ATAPI devices changed in 4.6 and you need to delete /dev/acd0* and cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV acd0 You can check this with 'ls -l /dev/acd*' If the minor modes for the 'c' partition ar not 0 for acd0c and 8 for acd1c, you need to re-make the devices. Once this is done, you will be able to use /dev/acd0c as intended. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.

CDROM drive(s) suddenly gone
Hello, I recently built a new kernel to incorporate sound on my machine. Everything seemed to come off without a hitch, no problems whatsoever. I followed the handbook and added a line to my custom kernel. device pcm I purposely left out options PNPBIOS just to make sure everything went all right to begin with After this I made sure to check everything to make sure all my system functionality remained intactagain, there appeared to be no problems. This evening I went to mount one of my cdrom drives and the machine kept giving me a problem saying cd9660: /dev/acd0c : Invalid Argument I checked /etc/fstab and the entry for both /cdrom and /cdrom1 remained the same as before, they are as follows: /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 /dev/acd1c /cdrom1 cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 however, when I took a look a dmesg I found the following: dmesg | egrep acd acd0: CDROM LTN486S at ata1-master PIO4 acd1: CD-RW HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8240B at ata1-slave PIO4 To tell the truth, really have no idea how this happened. Does anyone have any ideas, and more importantly, how do I get the cdrom(s) back? I am running FreeBSD 4.7-PRERELEASE. Thanks for anyhelp anyone can give me.

Re: CDROM drive(s) suddenly gone
Well, mount /dev/acd0a does not work. Howerver, I did put in a data disk and it mounted fine with the command mount /cdrom. However, a music CD will not work. Is there some sort of special setting(s) I need to configure to mount music CD's? Thanks again.

And even weirderwhen I do put in a data cdit is mounted as /dev/acd0c which according to dmesg doesn't even existsyet it is in the /dev directory structure.

It just means that if it did exist, you would have a way to refer to it. But you are confusing me. I thought you couldn't mount your CDs? Are you having problems with data CDs, or only music CDs?

No, I literally just got the data cd to work. Howerver, at this point music CD's will not mount.

Re: CDROM drive(s) suddenly gone
And even weirderwhen I do put in a data cdit is mounted as /dev/acd0c which according to dmesg doesn't even existsyet it is in the /dev directory structure. This is the way it is supposed to work. The device in dmesg will be acd0, while it will be referred to when mounting (as in your fstab) as /dev/acd0c. In a similar fashion, you will notice that your disk drives are detected (if IDE) as ad0, ad1 etc in dmesg, although in /etc/fstab they are listed by partition as /dev/ad0s1a etc when they are being mounted. The additional letter refers to the partition. For the cdrom, the letter c refers to the whole disk. Your initial confusion seems to be due to the fact that you were trying to mount a music cd. This is not what you do, you play music cd's. You can use a variety of things to do this, from the basic, cdcontrol (see the man page), to the graphical interface variety, e.g. xcdplayer in the ports. If you want to extract the music off the CD as a .wav file, you don't mount the cd, you use a ripping tool, like cdda2wav (from the cdrtools port). Hope that makes more sense.
