Andre Eisenbach suggested:
Make sure your kernel support VFAT and ISO9660. The
relevant kernel options are:
CONFIG_FAT_FS=y
CONFIG_MSDOS_FS=y
CONFIG_VFAT_FS=y
CONFIG_ISO9660_FS=y
CONFIG_JOLIET=y
I rebuilt my kernel and made sure that these kernel options
are set.
[Side question relating to the kernel - How does lilo or
the kernel know which System.map to access? For example,
I used the following
/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-t3 (the bzImage)
/boot/System.map-t3 -> /boot/System.map-2.4.19-t3 (the System.map)
/vmlinuz-t3 -> /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-t3
and in lilo.conf I had
image=/vmlinuz-t3
label=Linux-t3
root=/dev/hda5
read-only
In other words, my questions is - who is reading System.map
and how are they accessing it? ]
Unfortunately I still get the same response when I do 'mount /cdrom':
: kernel: hde: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
: kernel: hde: command error: error=0x51
: kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 21:00 (hde), sector 132
: kernel: isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=21:00, iso_blknum=33, block=66
: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
: or too many mounted file systems
Other suggestions, please?
Andre also suggested:
CONFIG_SONYPI=y
Once you got that compiled in, you can do
apt-get install sjog
This will install a Jog-Dial program for X (sjog) as well
as the command line utility spictrl which you can use to
set the brightness.
I do not see CONFIG_SONYPI in the 2.4.19 kernel config file.
Perhaps you are using another kernel?
