Drive is attached to secondary master (hdc) and i tried /dev/hdc still get same message. How do check for scsi emulation?. I tried lsmod which shows a list of stuff but dont know what i'm looking for!. Also I know i need something in my /etc/grub.conf here it is at prsent:-
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdc2
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hdc
default 0
timeout 1
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
fallback 1
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-20.9)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-20.9 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-20.9.img / hdc=ide-scsi
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.20-19.9)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.20-19.9 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.4.20-19.9.img
As you can see i have added hdc=ide-scsi is this in the right place??
oh youve already done hdc=ide-scsi, in that case try /dev/scd0 instead of /dev/hd?, if that doesnt work run cdrecord -scanbus to test if scsi emulation is picking it up.
Problem now solved!!, hdc=ide-scsi in the wrong place!. now iam able to mount under root cd & dvd data now just need to try writing cd's & playing DVD's.
What software is there for playing DVD's under redhat 9?. also how do i make all users able to mount CD/DVD's?. I have changed 'owner' to 'users' in /etc/fstab but when i tried to mount cd in shell as user it said only root can do this.
assuming the device is /dev/cdrom then the fstab line you have above should work fine. i wouldnt bother with the owner option, its only useful if you have people logging in remotely.
