Burning CDs vs mounting music CDs

[mohenly]

Hi...

I'm having trouble configuring my IDE-ATAPI CDR drive (under RH 6.2) to allow both CD burning and CD playing. At the moment, I can burn CDs without a problem -- but I can't seem to mount (or automount) a music CD.

Here's what I've done so far...

- Added to end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local:

insmod ide-scsi

- Added to /etc/modules.conf:

alias scd0 srmod
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
options ide-cd ignore=hdd

- Added to /etc/lilo.conf after the "root=" line:

append="hdd=ide-scsi"

- Ran "lilo" command at prompt.

- In /dev directory, made a link:

ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdr

- In /mnt, created a directory:

mkdir /mnt/cdr

- Added to /etc/fstab:

/dev/cdr /mnt/cdr iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0

In /etc/fstab, there was already a line reading:

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0

I've tried commenting it out, but the same thing happens in either case. If I try to manually mount the music CD (using "mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/cdr /mnt/cdr"), I get this error:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad
superblock on /dev/cdr, or too many
mounted file systems

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Mount a music CD? You cant, they dont have a file system, there is no need to mount it. Why would you want to?

OK. What I'm saying is that commands that should <i>play</i> the CD don't. For example, I load a CD, then point to it with RH's CD Player app -- which says that it's scanning, but there's "no disk". Yes, I did try setting the CD Player app to look at both /dev/cdr and /dev/cdrom (the default).
