IDE CD-ROM and DevFS
Hi folks,
I've recently installed 2.4 and wanted to have a play around with devfs,
so I compiled into into the kernel, and built devfsd from sid:
ii devfsd 1.3.10-5 Daemon for the device filesystem
I like the idea of devfs, and generally it's working pretty well for me.
The only major annoyance so far is that I can't seem to access my IDE
cd-rom. I have 1 scsi cd-rom, 1 scsi cd burner, and 1 ide cd-rom. I can
access the scsi cds fine, and they both show up under /dev/cdroms:
[rei:~]% ls -l /dev/cdroms
total 0
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 34 Jan 1 1970 cdrom0 ->
../scsi/host0/bus0/target2/lun0/cd
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 34 Jan 1 1970 cdrom1 ->
../scsi/host0/bus0/target3/lun0/cd
So why doesn't my ide cd show up?
The cd-rom driver is built as a module:
[rei:~]% grep IDECD /boot/config-2.4.0-ac11
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=m
and is loaded:
[rei:~]% /sbin/lsmod|grep cdrom
cdrom 26720 0 (autoclean) [sr_mod]
I'm pretty sure (though not 100%) that it was working with 2.4 before
devfs, but it's a pain to reboot to find out!
Has anyone any suggestions? Am I missing something, or is it likely to
be a hardware issue?
cheers,
damon
