Problem mounting ieee1394 cdrom (dell x200)


Hi,
I am unable to mount my firewire cdrom that connects to dell x200 laptop. I am using Slackware 10 with the 2.4.26 kernel. I have recomplied the kernel, so that all necessary modules are built in ( ieee1394, ohci1394, sbp2, scsi support with generic/cdrom/disk support) . My fstab file lists cdrom as
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto, user, exec,ro 0 0
where /dev/cdrom points to /dev/scd0

When I try to mount the cdrom, I get the error message /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device. When I had Suse 8.2 installed, the cdrom drive worked, so I know linux supports it.

Here is some relevant kernel/boot up info ... Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Huey

When you connect your firewire drive, what are dmesg outputs ?

Also this utility : gscanbus may help.

Also as I see sbp2 in your log, this link may help too

You should try another dev, like /dev/scd0 or /dev/scsi0 instead of /dev/cdrom. (it's being recognized so i guess you need to know where it's )
