And here is the relevant lilo entry :

append="hdd=ide-scsi"


SCSI emulation is enabled directly in my kernel, and so is SCSI support, so I have nothing going on with modules.

What do I need to do to make the drivr mount ?

JC

mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom

( /dev/hdd turns into scd0 with scsi-emulation)

ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrw
mount /dev/cdrw /mnt/CD-RW

SCSI emulation, remember?

Thanks for the replys. I forgot to mention that I did create a symlink in ' /dev ' called ' cdrw ' and it points to ' scd0 ' .

Are you mounting as root and do you have aCD with the iso9660 filesystem (data disk) in the drive? Audio CDs don't mount.

Yes it's iso9660 . It's the Slackware 9.0 CD. It mounts fine when I treat the drive like a CD-ROM.

JC

Hold everything, sorry . My fault. I missed two items in the kernel config - enable scsi cdrom support, and disable the mulitple lun setting. I'm cooking up a new kernel, and will see what happens.

Thanks,

JC

Ok, I have found my blunder. It was those two settings in the kernel config. With my new kernel, there's no problem seeing the drive as a CD-RW and it mounts now.

Thanks

JC

"party on lostboy"

You bet PTBmilo ! I feel like partying now. I'm starting to get the hang of Slackware.
