				Hello.
 
 
I just installed DSL-N on the Harddrive of this IBM Notebook. Everything seems to be fine and working. It tried to mount the cd-rom into the Filesystem but it doesn't work. 
 
 
My first attempt was to do it with the fstab entry:
 
 
[code:1]mount /cdrom[/code:1]
 
 
mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid bock device
 
 
Ok, next one:
 
 
[code:1]mount /dev/hdc /cdrom[/code:1]
 
 
Same output as above.
 
 
I thought maybe it wants to know the filesystem:
 
 
[code:1]mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /cdrom[/code:1]
 
 
NO success.
 
 
dmesg output:
 
 
[code:1]Probing ide interface ide1...
 
hdc: CRN-8241B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
 
ide1 at 0x170-0x177, 0x376 on irq 15
 
[/code:1]
 
 
Later in dmesg output:
 
 
[code:1]ide-cd: passig drive hdc to ide-scsi emulation.[/code:1]
 
 
I feel somehow stupid... maybe someone can help me?[/code] |

				I'm not dead yet! I think my problem is caused by this:
 
 
[code:1]ide-cd: passig drive hdc to ide-scsi emulation.[/code:1]
 
 
I booted in the LiveCD and checked the dmesg, and the only thing that was different was that this line was missing. And the CD-ROM works fine.
 
 
So how can i prevent the system from "passing drive hdc to ide-scsi emulation"?
