[ILUG] Question about CDROM

[ILUG] Question about CDROM

Subba Rao subb3 at ibm.net
Sat Aug 21 14:56:06 IST 1999


I had my CDROM working until 8 AM this morning. All I did was changed my video card and closed the
box. At bootup time, the CDROM drive did not get mounted.

I tried to manually mount the drive,

$ mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom
mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/cdrom as a block device
       (maybe 'insmod driver'?)

That is the message, I get now.

Then, I inserted a audio CD, and xmcd does not play it. I am using OSS driver ( and did turn on the driver ).

The "eject" command says
eject: open failed for '/dev/hdc': No such device

Did not know changing video card was so dangerous ;-)

I would appreciate any help. The video card a XFConfig work great, but now I want my CD to work.

Thank you for any help.
