mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device
sepp
I'm using Fedora FC1 with a self built kernel 2.6.5. mount /dev/cdrom
returns "/dev/cdrom is not a valid block device". Same with "mount -t
iso9660 /dev/hdc1 /mnt/cdrom/"
I also tried sdc0 instead of hdc1, without success.
my fstab:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9669 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
ls -l /proc/ide
r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 May 10 12:16 drivers

-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 May 10 12:16 piix
modprobe cdrom returns "Module cdrom already in kernel"
what am I doing wrong?

Did you perhaps miss the IDE-SCSI emulation configuration when you created
your custom 2.6.5 kernel?
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=m
The CD does not have a partition so 'mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom'
or 'mount -t iso9660 /dev/sda /mnt/cdrom' (assuming the CD device is the
first scssi device on your system) should work. Also check the symbolic
link 'ls -al /dev/cdrom' and make sure it is to /dev/hdc.
IDE-SCSI emulation is no longer needed with the 2.6 kernels and has not
really been needed since kernel 2.4.20 or so for 'burning' CD media. So
you might want to remove the 'hdc=ide-scsi' section from your boot loader
and re-create your symbolic link (/dev/cdrom).

/dev/sda is usually the first scsi disk, the first scsi cdrom is
/dev/scd0.

The prefix /dev/scd instead of /dev/sr has been used
as well, and might make more sense.

Seems to depend on your distro, no sr[0-9] devices here (RH) at
all, but I'm sure I have been using them on other distro.

when I remove the 'hdc=ide-scsi' parameter,during mounting I get the error
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/cdrom,
or too many mounted file system
do I really need the scsi emulation?

Is the drive jumpered (master, slave) correctly?

Perhaps you are trying to use the wrong device:
# ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Apr 4 16:28 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/sr0

I was installing Fedora Linux from CDs, and under WindowsXP, there is no
problem acessing the CD-drive. btw my machine is a Dell Inspiron 8600
