Re: cdrom problem

When I try to mount something on my cdrom I get this error:  mount: special

When I type dmesg | grep CD I get no results.

When I type lsscsi I get: [0:0:0:0]    disk    ATA      TOSHIBA MK1032GS
AS02  -

Does anybody know what I can do about these problems so I can mount things.

By the way, it says /dev/cdrom doesn't exist.

On my machine, /dev/cdrom is simply a link to /dev/hdc.
You can search for devices by using hdparm if you have it installed...

# hdparm /dev/hda


/dev/hda:
 multcount    = 16 (on)
 IO_support   =  0 (default 16-bit)
 unmaskirq    =  0 (off)
 using_dma    =  1 (on)
 keepsettings =  0 (off)
 readonly     =  0 (off)
 readahead    = 256 (on)
 geometry     = 65535/16/63, sectors = 78165360, start = 0

# hdparm /dev/hdb
/dev/hdb: No such device or address

# hdparm /dev/hdc


/dev/hdc:

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
