| |
Maybe someone can help fill me in if I missed this FAQ. I've got a Redhat 6.1 machine here where the CDROM was working fine with their vendor supplied kernel (modified 2.2.12). I then recompiled their kernel, modularizing all pieces needed to access my CDROM (ide, cdrom, isofs) and when I mounted it next, the mount completes but it does not work correctly. mount shows that it's mounted but where I mounted it becomes befuddled as so:
Premount: drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 9 1998 cdrom
Executed: mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom (which is hda) /mnt/cdrom
Postmount: -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Dec 31 1969 cdrom
The date might be slightly off, but it was something like that (I'm doing this from memory). So I downloaded new kernel source for 2.2.13 applied prepatch pre4 to it and changed the options so I said yes to IDE but still modularized idecd and isofs. This resulted in no difference in behavior. However, at any time I seem able to reboot into the original kernel and use the CDROM with no problem.
Any ideas? I'm currently rebooting with Y to everything and will mail back with the results. Btw, this is my lilo.conf, there is one other difference between the setup with their kernel and mine, I don't bother using initrd, I'm not sure why this would make any difference.
