hi,
I have been a linux user for sometime now but have never changed any hardware before.
I previously had a IDE optical drive. I now have a sata optical drive but unable to mount it (it works fine with other live cds).
This is my /etc/fstab
--snip--
/dev/cdrom2 /mnt/disc iso9660 rw,defaults 0 0
--snip--
I figured that the drive points to sr0
$ll /dev
--snip--
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2008-03-04 16:57 cdrom2 -> sr0
--snip--
I did this
#sdparm --all /dev/sr0
/dev/sr0: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH20NS10 EL00 [cd/dvd]
mode sense command failed, unit attention
unable to mount the drive the usual way using the mount command
this happens after a disc change.
$dmesg
--snip--
sr0: disc change detected.
