Hi All,

I tried to get RH 8 XCDRoast up last night.  I checked out the FAQ, went to xcdroast.org, downloaded and installed the new files and no luck.  So did some Google searching and found that SCSI emulation was the way to go.  I edited grub and got that happening... but still can't burn a CD.  

I wasn't too concerned... I was getting low on beer and was considering calling it a night, but did do a reboot for some reason that escapes me this morning.  Anyway, during the reboot, fstab failed to load /dev/cdrom1. I edited fstab to comment out that line and the computer will boot now without whining, but I have a problem here I need to fix.

Should I re-edit grub and forget SCSI emulation for the CD drives or modify my fstab?  Why would fstab bitch about /dev/cdrom1 but be cool with /dev/cdrom which is set up the same way?  Or, should I blame the whole thing on Molson... I had a case of their Goldens to help me with this last night :)

Seriously though, if anyone can think of what I most likely hosed and the best way to correct it I'd appreciate it.

Jim

That's weird. When I did a fresh install of Red Hat 8.0 it automatically configured my burner with ide-scsi on /dev/scd0. X11 is right, can you paste in a copy of your /etc/fstab and also the output from "ls -l /dev/cdrom*"?

Master of Reality:
why was fstab complaining about the cdrom at bootup? Was there a cdrom in the drive?

I know when i had trouble with my cd burner i added hd*=ide-scsi (*=drive) and xcdroast the nworked fine without anything else. That was in RH 8.

Thanks!

My /etc/fstab file is:[dishawjp@eunix etc]$ cat fstab

LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/hdc2               swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
#/dev/cdrom1             /mnt/cdrom1             iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0                /mnt/floppy             auto    noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom              iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0
0
/dev/cdrom1             /mnt/cdrom1             iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0
0

The outupt from ls -l /dev/cdrom is:

[dishawjp@eunix etc]$ ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            9 Dec 20 19:57 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0

There was no CDROM in the drive when this happened.

Any assistance greatly appreciated!

Jim

Doh!!!!

I just saw it!

I have the /dev/cdrom1 in there twice.  Maybe I should have had a few Molsons less last night. I don't know how that happened though.  I don't think I was drunk enough to have put it in there again.

Jim
