I think that the fstab needs to be changed to use device names, but I'm 
not sure what that means:

Looks good, except for the last column of the ext[23] volumes. Should be 1 
for / and 2 for the others. The "dump" column (5th) can be zero for 
everything.

Bye...

Unless I'm very much mistaken device names are the kind of names on  
traditionally finds in /dev - eg. /dev/hda, /dev/hdb &c. ISTM that in  
referring to partitions in /etc/fstab as /dev/hdb1 & so on you ARE  
using device names.

I'm not seeing any critical error messages in your output - could you  
perhaps explain what the problem is exactly?

More modern kernels allow you to refer to volume labels in /etc/ 
fstab, thus:
   LABEL=boot              /boot           ext3             
noauto,noatime  1 2
   LABEL=root              /               reiserfs         
noatime         0 1
but I don't believe there's any necessity to change anything if it's  
working.

I'll post some details later tonight, but data discs, blank media or 
music cd's -- none work.  When I boot into Fedora on the same machine, 
both drives (CD-ROM and CD-R/W) work fine.

Are the device files (links) present in /dev (ll /dev/cdr*)?

Maybe no CDRom driver in your kernel or module not loaded? Or no iso9660 
filesystem module?

Could you post your kernel config, please.

Bye...

I'm not sure.

I ran zcat /proc/config.gz and put the results at  http://rafb.net/p/
DirL3Z54.html for the kernel.

Other than that you have enabled way too much stuff, I don't see any problem 
with CDRom support. Everyting that is needed is compiled into the kernel 
directly.

So we need a more detailed description of your problem, now. What exactly is 
not working and what is the exact error message (if any) you get?

Bye...

Encountered:

warhammer etc # mount /dev/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: No buffer space available

i googled and found a "no buffer space available".

followed suggestions on the thread:

warhammer etc # mount -va && df && mount -v /mnt/cdrom
mount: /dev/sda7 already mounted on /mnt/home1
mount: /dev/sda5 already mounted on /mnt/oldroot
mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted on /mnt/Movies
mount: /dev/sda2 already mounted on /mnt/windows2
mount: /dev/sda3 already mounted on /mnt/boot
mount: shm already mounted on /dev/shm
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/cdrom
        I will try all types mentioned in /etc/filesystems or /proc/ 
filesystems
Trying #
Trying #vfat
Trying ext4dev
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/cdrom
        I will try all types mentioned in /etc/filesystems or /proc/ 
filesystems
Trying #
Trying #vfat
Trying ext4dev
Trying squashfs
Trying msdos
Trying hfsplus
Trying gfs2
mount: No buffer space available

***
so i guess it was looking for a lot of fs, but the machine couldn't  
find the right one.
i dunno why.

my fstab:

/dev/cdrom		/mnt/cdrom	auto		auto,users	0 0
#/dev/fd0		/mnt/floppy	auto		noauto		0 0
/dev/hda1		/		ext3		noatime		0 1
/dev/sda7		/mnt/home1      xfs		user		0 0
/dev/sda6		none		swap		sw		0 0
/dev/sda5		/mnt/oldroot	xfs		user		0 0
/dev/sda1		/mnt/Movies	xfs 		user		0 0
/dev/sda2		/mnt/windows2	vfat		user		0 0
/dev/sda3		/mnt/boot	ext3		noatime		1 2
/dev/sdb		/mnt/ipod	hfsplus		noauto,user	0 0

so i changed /mnt/cdrom from auto to iso9660

and... everything works. no more "no buffer buffer space available"  
error after that.

my question is... is there a way to set it to auto and still it will  
pick up iso9660? or maybe i missed some setting on the kernel that  
needs to be set?

thanks.

What is the cdrom? Music or Data? You can't mount a music cdrom... period. 
However, if it's a data cd, then iso9660 MUST either be build into the kernel 
or available as a module for the "auto" part of your cdrom fstab line to work 
correctly... hmmm... maybe need also "autoload" in the module loading section 
of the kernel configurator.


Cheers.

Try;
$ grep ISO9660 /usr/src/linux/.config

If it says
CONFIG_ISO9660_FS=y -> its built into the kernel, and should be working
CONFIG_ISO9660_FS=m -> its built as a module, so try 'modprobe iso9660'
and attempt the mount again (but it should load the module automatically
# CONFIG_ISO9660_FS is not set -> you need to build it. You might as
well just build it as a module, so you don't have to change your kernel
and reboot etc. Just update your .config file, then run "make modules &&
make modules_install && modprobe iso9660" and try to mount it again.

yep. it is built into the kernel. so auto should work, correct?

You could try moving iso9660 to the top in /etc/filesystems, so it gets 
tried first.

Well, I was pleasantly surprised that I was able read the disc from the 
cdrw drive, but the cdrom drive is odd.  Works from fedora, but in Gentoo 
cycles through:  spin up, pause, spin up, forever.  Even ctrl-c didn't 
kill it, had to reboot:

Even after rebooting, the drive was still going crazy trying to read the 
disc.  How can I kill that without rebooting?  I had to reboot again just 
to eject the disc between POST and GRUB.

I think it may be that this particular CD-ROM drive isn't fully supported 
by Gentoo, or somehow Gentoo is using different drivers than Fedora. It's 
a very cheap CD-ROM, but I'd still like to get it functioning correctly.

I was quite surprised when the CD-RW drive read the disc as I thought 
that I'd tried that before and it had failed.

Since I never had a problem like this, I can't help you with this.

However, if I had to guess, I would eventually look at hdparm settings, or 
even cables.

Just out of curiosity: What if you boot from a LiveCD (like Knoppix or GRML 
or even the Gentoo LiveCD) in cdrw1, can you then read another disc from 
cdrom1?

Bye...
