kernel 2.6.3: cdrom isn't running....also not as /dev/hdc ...RH9
Hello
I've compiled my kernel 2.6.3 on a Medion-notebook and everything runs well, excepted my cdrom-drive
it's a cd-rw-drive and it ran always well with the 2.4-kernel from redhat9. when I enter , I just see my harddrive and with , the cd-writer isn't shown as well, but a CD is placed in the drive. I just followed a good howto and my usb-devices, iptables, acpi run well with the 2.6.3, ....but my cd doesn't want to..
maybe, anyone has got an advise for me, what I've got to do?
I attached my config-file of my kernel below....
thanks and regards
pablo
the config-file

Does it show up in /proc/ide?
Hard to help you without knowing the
distro, too ...
Chances are that the writer was access
via ide-scsi in 2.4 kernels, but that method
is not used for 2.6 ... so the link in
/dev/cdrom
probably needs to point to
/dev/hdc rather than /dev/scd0
Cheers,
Tink

No you didn't - you said

which doesn't say whether you're still
using RH or not, neither does your personal
info or your signature.

It certainly wouldn't in fdisk ...

ok, sorry...you're right...I said that I used redhat9,....my mistake....that's the ouput of your command:
Code:
ls -l /proc/ide
insgesamt 2
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 24. Feb 23:40 drivers
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 24. Feb 23:40 hda -> ide0/hda
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 24. Feb 23:40 hdc -> ide1/hdc
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 24. Feb 23:40 ide0
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root 0 24. Feb 23:40 ide1
what doas that mean? That my kernel didn't load the cdrom-driver?
thanks and regards

That means that it's still an IDE-device ...
try
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom

Code:
[root@mobile_abc1_1 mnt]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom
mount: /dev/hdc ist kein gültiges blockorientiertes Gerät
that means that /dev/hdc isn't a block-oriented device.....hmm
