changing my lilo conf
Ok, I have just put on a knoppix 3.4 hd install, with kde 3.2.2 and the 2.6.5 kernel. My prob is as such. Neither of my cd drives are accessible, when I try to open my dvd drive, I get the following msg:
"mount: special device /dev/dvd does not exist"
and when I try to open my burner, I get this msg:
unable to run the command specified. the file or folder file:/mnt/cdrom does not exist
Apparently it is something to do with the 2.6.5 kernels scsi/ide support, so here is the output of the grep |cd command:
ide-scsi is deprecated for cd burning! Use ide-cd and give dev=/dev/hdX as device
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 40x/40x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
sr1: scsi3-mmc drive: 48x/48x cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray

And here is my relevant lilo conf section:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.5
label="Linux(2.6)-2"
initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.5
append="ramdisk_size=100000 lang=de apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi nomce "
read-only
Is there anything here that needs to be changed? Please help, as this new setup is wonderful in every way but that, !
and at this stage in my linuxing carrer, this prob is a little beyond me....Strangely, k3b still shows both drives in its dialog window?! It shows the device nodes in k3b setup as /dev/scd0 for the burner, and /dev/scd1 for the dvd.
Also- I am running an asus a7n8x-deluxe mobo
athlon xp 2400+
burner-aopen cd-rw crw 4852
dvd-samsung jlms xj-hd166s
This is how I fixed it
omg you are my hero!

cdrom drives and fstab
hey in regard to your cdrom drives and fstab entries...
You don't usually put cdroms in your fstab unless you are running some kind of automounter eg. supermount, automount, autofs etc. these are relatively easy to set up just check out www.tldp.org
If you don't want to do that then you will have to mount and unmount you cds manually.
eg.
#mount /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/dvd
more
here is the fstab data: note there are no standard cd rom entries, could that be the problem?
