Hello out there I have trouble with ide-scsi on kernel 2.4.20-8 First of all there was not /dev/cdrom, so I changed /etc/modules.conf added line alias /dev/cdrom ide-scsi Now I have a /dev/cdrom linked to /dev/scd0 When I try to mount the cd I got the message: # mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom, or too many mounted file systems (aren't you trying to mount an extended partition, instead of some logical partition inside?) The message I got from the kernel is: Sep 18 17:41:26 localhost kernel: Unable to identify CD-ROM format. Sep 18 17:51:06 localhost kernel: FAT: bogus logical sector size 0 Sep 18 17:51:06 localhost kernel: VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev 0b:00.
