Fw: Mitsumi FX001D CD-ROM drv. Need help...
This is my second request for HELP! with a FX001D Mitsumi CD-ROM drive,
mabe this time I will catch the right person or users that can help me out
here...
I am hopeing that someone that also has a CD-ROM drive the FX001D can help
me out here, in configuring the cd-rom drive, so that when at bootup it will
be mounted...
If I boot right from the linux floppy disk, when it gets to the point of
mounting my CD-ROM drive I get this:
MCD=0X360,11: init Failed. No mcd device at 0x360 irq 11
But if I let the system boot up using MSDOS, it then loads everything
encluding my cd-rom drive, then once I get the msdos prompt, I insert the
Bootable linux
disk into the floppy drive, and do a soft reboot CTRL-ALT-DEL and then it
boots up using the Linux floppy...
When it gets to the point of loading of the cd-rom drive it then loads in
and shows this:
MCD=0X360,11: Mitsumi Status type and version: 10 D 2 Double Speed CD ROM
Does this mean that when I am asked when installing Debian Modules select
Category for cdrom driversthat when it shows the different types like sony,
etc, and mcd or MCDX, that it is looking for mcd=0x360,11 10 D 2....???
With this info how can I have it mounted upon booting up Linux, in the
FSTAB file, meaning the correct way to type it in fro a MCD type CDROM
drive...
I have printed out HOW-TO CDROM and it is listed as this for my CD-ROM
drive...
Loadable module support: YES
Device: /dev/mcd, major 23
Configuration file: mcd.h
Kernel Config option: Standard Mitsumi CDROM Support ?
README file: MCD This file I have not found????
This driver accepts a kernel command line of the form:
mcd=<ip-address>, <irq> This I allready know what the I/O and IRQ is
mcd=0x360,11 but it is needing something else for it to work right...
Here is what the cdrom howto mentioned..
Specifying the I/O base address of the card 0x340 and the irq request number
used.
The device file can be created using:
# mknod /dev/mcd b 23 0 I have done this and it says that it allready
exists, this is because I booted up from dos, then did an CTRL-ALT-DEL and
then it was mounted upon booting up from my linux boot disk...
I would like any info on how to do it correctly so that when I boot directly
from my bootdisk that the cdrom drive will work...
Also I would like someone to show me the correct way of editing my FSTAB
file using the /dev/mcd since I have tried three different ways and have had
no luck in doing so...
Thanks for any help that you can pass on to me I would appreicate it...
