Mounting a CDROM unit

[axmug]

Hi everybody,

I have two LG CD's units. One for recording CD's and the other only for reading CD's. The first is the master and the second the slave.

My problem is that I can't mount the slave unit. First I had only the CD reader as master device. When I bought the CD recorder I had CD's recorder as master and CD's reader as slave. I have Windows 2000 Professional in one hard disk and SuSE Linux 7.2 in other hard disk. I boot the systems using LILO.

In Windows both CD's units works correctly, but in Linux only works the master CD's unit, that is, CD's recorder.

When I try mounting the other CD's unit typing mount /media/cdrom (this folder exists in my computer) it appears me the following message:

no medium found.

In the fstab I have the following lines:

/dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0

I have IDE units. Anyone knows what's wrong?

Thanks a lot.

You may try:
mount /dev/hdd /media/cdrom -t iso9660, for a data-cd.
If it works, probably -t auto would work too.

And you should try 'ls -la /dev/cdrom', this should point to /dev/hdd - which means 'hd=Hard Drive' and 'hd -a -b -c -c' are standing for first, second, third, fourth drive, that is:
Master on first controller, Slave on first, M. on sec. Sl. on sec.

Harddrive might look wrong, but the drive is controlled by the harddrive-controller, and therefore it's somehow correct.

if /dev/cdrom doesn't exist, you may create the link by:
ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom.
But perhaps /dev/cdrom points already to the rw-drive.
