I have a system with a single IDE CD-ROM reader (NOT a burner) and the CD died completely after the install giving some error (in the /var/log/messages) about there being no driver for /dev/hdb. The kernel did correctly identify the CD drive upon boot. Sorry I don't have exact error message but it is on a dualboot system my wife uses and at home (I'm typing this from work). My wife reported later that the CD-ROM drive no longer worked in Windows 98... which is very suspicious to me. I know CD-ROM drives die every once in a while of natural causes but I'm wondering if somehow it is related to this. I haven't had time to investigate further. I have seen the same problem but have determined that the /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/modules.dep was not correct for the loading of the ide-cd module it should depend on cdrom.o . Was able to correct the problem by generating a new modules.dep file with a 'depmod -a' command and reset the /dev links for the cdrom devices. Yes, running 'depmod -ae' should solve the problem; this was an installer bug that will be fixed in the next release. *** Bug 55947 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 55393 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 55551 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 55566 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 55702 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 56050 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I had this same problem after installing RH 7.2 on two separate systems, each with a different brand CDROM burner. In both cases I determined the problem was that the installer failed to include the following line in modules.conf: alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi Apparently the installer makes all the changes required to support a CDROM burner using cdrecord except this one. Simply adding this line and rebooting fixed the problem. I've got the same problem and I spent all the sunday recompiling the kernel and checking above solutions. Nothing worked. I've got a similar problem also with RH 7.1, and I was hoping that new version fixed this. I solved the problem changing distribution... Interesting... My system is able to mount data Cds, yet not audio. This has been reproducible only 2 times out of 4 installs, without hardware changes. "Bad superblock on /dev/cdrom", "/dev/cdrom is not a valib block device" I've got a similar proplem,after installing of RH LINUX 7.2,I've found the cdrom is not working.only reading files but not viewing the games for example.olso the printer is not working,there is no link to the existing windows 98 2E .Do i have to reinstall the OS again ? till now i cannot solve these proplems.please contact if you know an anser to : http://www.housam_mar@hotmail.com . thanks. I have 7.2 with the 2.4.7-10 kernel, RAID controller on SCSI0. Whenever I attempt to mount a CD the system freezes (no mouse movement) and leaves a series of messages in /var.log/messages kernel: SCSI host 1 abort (pid 0) timed out -resetting scsi1, channel 0, lun 0 Test Unit ready 00 00 00 00 I have applied all the fixes mentioned in this bug report ( depmod -ae; editing /etc/rc.sysinit; editing modules.conf) but nothing has changed the system freezing. There is a solution at: http://www.exocore.com/technologies/linux/rhl71dma/ It worked on my machine and a similar one in my office. |
