Hello.
Can somebody out there got the CDU-55E IDE cdrom
running?
Well I have version 1.1.80 of the kernel which is supposed to
support the new IDE cdroms.. I compiled it for the second IDE
code (that supports two IDE interfaces). I also compiled in
IDE CDROM support. ISO9660 support is also compiled in..
/proc/devices
show that It does have a CDROM
type 22 I think..
System Setup.
VLB IDE controller with secondary IDE port..
IDE port 1 - Connected devices CONNER HDD (MASTER)
NONE
IDE port 2 - Connected devies SONY CDU-55E IDE (MASTER)
NONE
Now how do you mount this CDROM?
I reconfigured the system and added
hdc=cdrom
(LILO append)
I also read the README.ide and it said run
MAKEDEV.ide1
so I did a
sh MAKEDEV.ide1
this made some devices files on the /dev
directory
hdc
hdc1
etc.etc.etc.
I do a
ln -sf /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm not sure but it might be backwards but it does show
me that /dev/cdrom is a link to /dev/hdc
I then editted the
/etc/fstab
added
/dev/hdc /cdrom iso9660 ro
I then also made a /cdrom directory..
Now when I reboot it still doesn't mount (I have a CD - WC3)
it says something like super_io=read_funny (or something like that)
and superbread mount = failed
or something..
What am I doing wrong?
It seems that everything should work.. pointers anyone..
Any help appreciated..
