SCSI-Emu: CDRecord works, but I can't mount my /dev/scdx anymore.

[MBMarduk]

I don't get it. I compiled a 'monolithical' kernel to get rid of the pesky modules.
Everything works except this.

If i do a 'cdrecord -scanbus' it sees everything fine just like before.

Instead if I try to mount it says:

root@hellreich:/home/metalhed# mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /cdrom
mount: /dev/sr0: unknown device

root@hellreich:/home/metalhed# mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr1 /cdrom
mount: /dev/sr1: unknown device

root@hellreich:/home/metalhed# mount -t iso9660 /dev/sg1 /cdrom
mount: /dev/sg1 is not a block device

root@hellreich:/home/metalhed# mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd1 /cdrom
mount: /dev/scd1: unknown device

root@hellreich:/home/metalhed# mount -t iso9660 /dev/sda1 /cdrom
mount: /dev/sda1: unknown device


I've also serched the forum and read these threads: http://www.linuxnewbie.org/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=006417 http://www.linuxnewbie.org/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=011837 http://www.linuxnewbie.org/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=012436 http://www.linuxnewbie.org/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=012693 http://www.linuxnewbie.org/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=013908 http://www.linuxnewbie.org/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=014622 http://www.linuxnewbie.org/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=016226 http://www.linuxnewbie.org/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=016830 http://www.linuxnewbie.org/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=017031
...but to no avail.

Can anyone shed light on this?
:(

How about mount /dev/cdrom ?
What's the contents of fstab?

[Saptech]

Try the mount command with a blank cd disk and a cd disk with info on it!

I didn't change anything else! Just the kernel.

I'm recompiling the fscker as I type... :(

To the next person that reads this: (perhaps you were doing a forum search too?)
make sure you got "Support for SCSI CD-ROM" also enabled in the kernel, along with:
IDE/ATA-->SCSI-Emulation
SCSI-->Generic

:rolleyes: :p
