DVDRAM drive not working

neocookie · 01-22-2006, 07:33 AM

Hi all

I'm still having problems with my DVDRAM drive.

Basically, I'm booting with lilo. Setting append="hdc=ide-scsi" produces the following output in dmesg:

Code:

box:~# dmesg | grep hdc
Kernel command line: auto BOOT_IMAGE=Woody ro root=302 hdc=ide-scsi
ide_setup: hdc=ide-scsi
hdc: MATSHITADVD-RAM UJ-845S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
box:~# dmesg | grep scsi
Kernel command line: auto BOOT_IMAGE=Woody ro root=302 hdc=ide-scsi
ide_setup: hdc=ide-scsi
request_module[scsi_hostadapter]: Root fs not mounted
request_module[scsi_hostadapter]: Root fs not mounted
i2o_scsi.c: Version 0.0.1

Then trying to do an eject...

Code:

box:~# eject /dev/hdc
eject: unable to open `/dev/hdc'

Setting append="hdc=scsi" produces:

Code:

box:~# dmesg | grep hdc
Kernel command line: auto BOOT_IMAGE=Woody ro root=302 hdc=scsi
ide_setup: hdc=scsi -- BAD OPTION
hdc: MATSHITADVD-RAM UJ-845S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdc: ATAPI 47X DVD-ROM DVD-R-RAM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache
box:~# dmesg | grep scsi
Kernel command line: auto BOOT_IMAGE=Woody ro root=302 hdc=scsi
ide_setup: hdc=scsi -- BAD OPTION
request_module[scsi_hostadapter]: Root fs not mounted
request_module[scsi_hostadapter]: Root fs not mounted
i2o_scsi.c: Version 0.0.1

Doing an eject works as expected, but I'm not able to do anything else.

My fstab looks like this:

Code:

/dev/hda2       /               reiserfs        defaults        0       0
/dev/hda1       none            swap    sw                      0       0
proc            /proc           proc    defaults                0       0
/dev/fd0        /floppy         auto    user,noauto             0       0
#/dev/cdrom     /cdrom          iso9660 ro,user,noauto          0       0
#/dev/cdrom     /cdrom          iso9660 user,noauto,ro,exec             0       0
#/dev/scd0      /cdrom          iso9660 user,noauto             0       0
/dev/sr0        /cdrom          iso9660 user,noauto             0       0
/dev/hdd1       /mnt/hdd1       reiserfs        defaults,ro,user        0       0

Any ideas on how to get this working?

be sure to create the directory in the file system of what is in the second column, i'm sure you already know that.
here is my fstab, my cdrecorder is a combo recorder and will burn dvds and cds

I don't think its my fstab thats the issue. I think its more along the lines of the ide-scsi settings. When I first installed Debian, everything was working fine. I'm not sure what happened to stop it from working.

Any other ideas of how I might be able to track down the issue?
