Re: Unable to mount cd-rom
I've got a similar setup. I don't know if this is your problem but...
When you load the ide-scsi stuff, I think that it emulates EVERYTHING on that
bus, unless you pass it a couple of boot parameters. I don't know what these
boot parameters are, and I haven't bothered to figure it out yet, so both my
cdrom (actually a dvdrom) and cdrw device are under scsi emulation, since they
are on the same bus (the dvdrom's the secondary master, and the cdrw's the
secondary slave).
If /dev/sr0 is pointing to /dev/hdd, and you're not passing the special
parameters to ide-scsi on boot, then this is most likely your problem.
First of all, make sure that you've got the devices straight. The fact that
/cdburner points to /dev/sr0 while /dev/cdrom points to /dev/hdc looks a
little odd, but I'm certainly no expert.
Next, change your fstab entries so that /dev/cdrom points to /dev/sr1 (or /dev/
sr0, or whatever). Then you should be able to mount the device normally.
The fact that this is hanging your system is also strange. Do you actually
have two separate devices, or a single cdrw that you are trying to pawn off to
your system as both a cdrom and a cdburner? That fact might be confusing
mount and do funny things to your system.
