Hi guys, I have just recompiled kernel 2.6.6 and I have found why sound did not work (I selected Virtual Midi driver also and that was the first device Alsa driver looked for, removing it and selecting only my audio chipset everything works fine).
But there's a major problem here.
This kernel does not recgnize supermount file system and does not mount my cdrom.
Here's my fstab:
I have chosen scsi-emulation during configuration for I tought not selecting it could be cause of some problems....but it seems these problems still persist.
This kernel also insists in removing sdc0 and adding hdc....
How should I change fstab in order to properly see cd/cd-r/cd-rw/dvd/dvd-r/dvd-rw?
Thanks alot.
A minor problem is: I cannot scroll with the wheel of my USB mouse, tough the wheel can click. Suggestions?
Yes, I know scsi emulation is no more needed in 2.6.x kernel tree but MDK looks strange and I have inserted it for compatibility.
Now I modify this fstab and look what happens:
[root@localhost giulio]# mount scd0
mount: impossibile trovare scd0 in /etc/fstab o /etc/mtab
it says it cannot find scd0 in etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
It's not necessary to have an entry in fstab to mount a CD. If I become root I have no problem mounting CD's. As a normal user I can play CD's, watch DVD's, burn CD's, rip CD's, do anything I need with CD's. /etc/fstab has no mention of either CD drive. It's not needed.
If you're having problems with CD's your problems lie elsewhere, possibly in the config options you chose when you compiled the kernel, possibly you need to pass some special option to the kernel at boot time.
