Unable to mount cdroms in linux 2.6.3
Hello,
Today I tried the new linux 2.6.3 on my Debian Sarge computer :)
Everything seems to be ok, with one exception -- linux 2.6 doesn't do
SCSI emulation anymore - and I was using SCSI emulation to get CD
writing to work; I read [1] cdrecord was fixed so it doesn't need it
anymore so it shouldn't be a problem;
However, I must have forgotton something in my attempt to disable the
SCSI emulation stuff...
jorishuizer@debian:/dev$ mount /cdrom
mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device
jorishuizer@debian:/dev$ ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11 Feb 20 10:10 /dev/cdrom ->
/dev/cdrom0
jorishuizer@debian:/dev$ ls -l /dev/cdrom0
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 8 Feb 20 10:10 /dev/cdrom0 ->
/dev/hdc
jorishuizer@debian:/dev$ ls -l /dev/hdc
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 Apr 15 2001 /dev/hdc
The /etc/fstab line for the cdrom is:
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 defaults,ro,user,noexec,noauto
0 0
Can anybody tell me how to make the cdrom work again /without/ SCSI
emulation in place?
Thank you for any help,
Joris
