Re: cdrom gone after kernel compile

[Ben Pfaff <pfaffben@pilot.msu.edu>]

   After compiling a more modularized kernel today (using Debian 1.3.1 with
   kernel src 2.0.32) I've lost my cdrom- everything was working perfectly
   with the bloated standard kernel...
   When I try "mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /cdrom" I see something like "fs
   type iso9660 not supported by kernel". Fine- I made it available as a
   module- why isn't kerneld picking that up? (kerneld *is* running) So, I
   "insmod isofs". No luck- I see
   "mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/scd0 as a block device (maybe
   'insmod driver'?)"
   So, I try "insmod cdrom" to no avail.

   The hardware is fine- I'm using the Adaptec 1542 driver (the card is a
   1535- same but no bios) with a pretty vanilla SCSI-II dual speed
   (Compaq) cdrom. Both the support for the card and generic scsi support
   are compiled directly in, not as modules.

What does /proc/scsi/scsi say?  Does it recognize that there's a
CD-ROM there?
