I'm using Linux Mandrake 7.2. I have my Plextor PlexWriter 12/10/32 drive mounted as
/dev/hdc with mount point /mnt/cdrom. I also have the Pioneer 10x dvd-rom mounted as /dev/hdd with mount point /mnt/cdrom2.
When I try to cd to /mnt/cdrom I get the following error message:
bash:cd:cdrom:input/output error.
I get the same error message when I try to cd to /mnt/cdrom2. I used su to login as root before executing these commands.
Here is a partial listing of the contents of my /etc/fstab:
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660, dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0
/mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660, dev=/dev/cdrom2 0 0
Typing lsmod reveals a module named
ide-scsi loaded.
I dont know what relevance this has to my problem, but I thought I would include a partial listing of this file anyways as well as the name of this module
I believe the input/output error message has to do with how Linux sees cd-rw and dvd drives. I believe I read somewhere that Linux treates these devices as though they were scsi devices even though they're ide devices and loads a scsi module. I'm not sure, I'm just new to this Linux thing so any help would be greatly appreciated. :)
