Hello, I have a SAMSUNG CD-RW (52x24x52). Previuosly I had used it successfully in RedHat 9. If I remember well , I added in grub.conf something like hdc=ide-scsi (It was quite a time ago). Now I had recently upgradced to Fedora Core 2. When booting Fedora,I see in kernel log that the SAMSUNG CD-R is being recognized as hdc.
Should I add something in grub.conf ? I saw that in 2.6 kernel there is ide-cd ; should I add somethng like hdc=ide-cd in grub.conf ? Should I specify something regarding DMA in grub.conf ? (Now there is nothing about DMA in grub.conf)
I had tried mounting the CDROM like thus: (I am not sure at all it's OK) mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom but I got many errors in the log (hdc: DMA timeout retry and hdc: status error : error =0x00 and hdc: drive not ready for command).
Is the CDROM a CD-RW, a completed CD-R, or a purchased data CDROM ? If it is a CD-RW that has been used and not closed as CD-R then it is a UDF filesystem and mounting it as iso9660 will not work.
My fstab has options for iso9660 or UDF for each CDROM drive I have. When I insert a CD it automounts the disk in either drive.
You should be able to mount a cdrom by using "mount /mnt/cdrom" without the options or device as long as the line is in fstab.
