Hi:
First, I want to thank you guys for helping me unravel how to get the
install disks created from the FC3 ISO download files. Worked great.
Now I am trying to use the CD drive (which is fairly old, but its the
one I used to install FC3) , and I get an error - "cannot read
superblock" - when I insert a CD into the drive and FC3 tries to mount
the CD. CD reads fine in WinXP. Get the same error with commercial
audio CDs. Can't open the drive either once I get this error. XMMS
and GRIP both report drive errors. CD Roast wants me to make the
drives emulate SCSI, but I haven't tried that yet.
Also, how do I get FC3 to recognize my second CD drive (brand new
CD/DVD drive)
Both drives are on the second IDE controller. The old drive is
master, new one slave
You don't say which distro you are using.
If it is FC3 you do not need the scsi emulation for the CDROM.
You did not say what hardware you have with the CDROMs. If you are
using a cable-select cable, then you must jumper the drives to cable
select. If you are using an older 40 wire cable (non-cable select) then
you must jumper the drives to master/slave.
I would also recommend that the newest CDROM drive be the master on that
bus.
I would expect the problem with reading the drive and mount/dismount
problems are related to not properly seeing the CDROM. Fix the hardware
problem first and then if the problem with dismounting continues ask
again.
Thanks
