Won't detect and mount CD-ROM (Yggdrasil, cd-dependent)

Won't detect and mount CD-ROM (Yggdrasil, cd-dependent)

Post by Takeshi Nakamu » Tue, 24 May 1994 00:37:55



             I use Yggdrasil CD-ROm distribution. I installed cd-dependent.  
Installation goes smooth from CD-ROM, but when I try to reboot the new
installed system, it hangs when it atempt to mount /dev/cdrom. Also it doesn't
detect CD-ROm either.

            Compaq4/33
            SCSI/soundcard: Pro audio spectrum 16

            Any idea?  Thanks

        The hardware compatability list included in all of our
product literature and printed on the back of our manuals only lists
the PAS-16 driver as an "experimental" scsi driver.  If you have the
Summer 1994 release, try adding "max_scsi_luns=1" to your lilo boot
arguments (that seems to help with some CDROM drives).  The cheapest
supported scsi controller is the Future Domain TMC-850 *WITH BIOS*.
Also, you might want to check out the SCSI test results FTPable from
yggdrasil.com in ~ftp/pub/support/scsi_tests.summer94.

1. Linux from Nascent CD-ROM won't mount my panasonic cd-rom drive

        Hi, I just bought the Linux from Nascent CD-ROM and have been attempting
to install it on my 486DX2/66 machine.  I have a cardex SVGA card using a
Cirrus chipset and 1 meg of video ram.  I have 16 megs of 60-ns memory.  I also
have a local bus IDE hard drive controller (32-bit) running two 340-meg
western digital hard drives.  Oh, the video is local bus, too.  I also have
an IOMEGA floptical drive, as well as the almost expected 3.5" and 5.25"
floppies.  I also have a Soundblaster 16 sound card that is driving my CD-drive,
the setup that comes together in a multimedia pack, I forget the exact name,
but it is a fairly standard one.  It is a Panasonic cd-drive by the way.  
A panasonic 54- something I think.  When I boot and root my way into Linux,
It won't mount my cd-drive.  Since the program files are all on CD, that
means I can't install.  I followed the instructions for fixing this problemm
in the manual, i.e. "mknod /dev/sbpcd b 25 0"
                    "ln -fs /dev/sbpcd /dev/cdrom"
This looked fine, but when I rebooted, Linux still wouldn't mount my drive.
I even tried getting new root and boot images via anonymous FTP and rawrite.
No dice.  Does anyone have any ideas?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
