CD Writer & Slackware 9.1
I have an old Kodak CD Writer that I am trying to get working on Slackware 9.1 So far I have tried the following...
As root I created a new directory "mkdir /mnt/cdwriter" Then "ln -sf /dev/sr1 /dev/cdwriter" Then I edited my /etc/fstab file and added the line: /dev/cdwriter /mnt/cdwriter vfat,udf,ISO9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0 Then I tried to mount it with a CD in the drive using "mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdwriter /mnt/cdwriter" I got an error saying "mount: /dev/cdwriter is not a valid block device" Does anybody know what I am doing wrong? I have read documentation and this is all I can come up with. Thanks. |
try /dev/sda1 or /dev/sdb1 instead of /dev/sr1....
one more thing, try dmesg and see the messages related to yr cd writer.. |
Maybe try
Code:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /mnt/cdwriter |
Hi again,
I have been trying for a couple of days now with no success. My SuSE CD's are starting to look mighty tempting, but I really want to stick with this, I've learned a lot already. Anyway I have tried what you both suggested, and read even more documentation with no luck. The dmesg output relating to my CD-ROM drives was this. I'm not sure how much of it is relevent, I certainly have no DVD drives. hdc: LTN526S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive hdd: CR-4804TE, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 hdc: attached ide-cdrom driver. hdc: ATAPI 52X CD-ROM drive, 120kB Cache, UDMA(33) Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12 hdd: attached ide-cdrom driver. hdd: ATAPI 24X CD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, DMA I have some things I would like to backup so this is getting to be a problem. I would really appreciate any help, thanks. |
it seem yr cdwriter is assign to /dev/hdd...
do you using scsi emulation for your cdwriter? if yes pls check on kernel config & make sure scsi emulation is selected. and also pls make sure in yr /etc/lilo.conf file having this line (edit it as root) append hdd=ide-scsi. after you made the modification on lilo.conf, you need to execute (root) lilo |
You need much more than that.
You need scsi emulation, and like others wrote set hdd=ide-scsi in lilo. You also need to edit /etc/modules.conf to add some kernel modules for scsi emulation. Just RTFM: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO...ing-HOWTO.html Especially this chapter: 2. Setup the Linux-system for writing CD-ROMs Good luck. |
