On 28 Mar, Nomad the Wanderer spewed forth: :: :: I compiled and installed 2.2.4 and now I can't see my IDE cdrom. :: It detects it at boot time, but when I go to mount anything: :: :: {0}:dogbert:/home/nomad>mount /cdrom :: mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/hda as a block device :: (maybe `insmod driver'?) :: :: /dev/hda is my cdrom as I'm all SCSI. :: :: {0}:dogbert:/home/nomad>cat /proc/devices :: Character devices: :: 1 mem :: 2 pty :: 3 ttyp :: 4 ttyS :: 5 cua :: 7 vcs :: 10 misc :: 14 OSS :: 21 sg :: 119 vmnet :: 128 ptm :: 136 pts :: :: Block devices: :: 2 fd :: 8 sd :: 11 sr ::
Well, from your own block device listing, you have fd (floppy), sd (scsi), and sr (scsi). Mine is the same: Block devices: 1 ramdisk 2 fd 8 sd 11 sr
However, my CD is on /dev/scd0. /dev/hd* are h(ard) d(isks) on and IDE port (which would also include IDE CD's). So, try /dev/scd* or /dev/sr*, starting with 0 as the first cdrom. Also, have a look at /usr/src/Documentation/devices.txt to find the following, and more, useful information:
block SCSI CD-ROM devices 0 = /dev/sr0 First SCSI CD-ROM 1 = /dev/sr1 Second SCSI CD-ROM ...
The prefix /dev/scd instead of /dev/sr has been used as well, and might make more sense.
