Tim,
At the risk of Jens jumping on this post, I think
there was some problem mounting cdroms that is
fixed in the "ac" series, the latest of which is
2.4.3-ac5 . Perhaps you could try it and report
back.

The fact that you can write a cd (which does not
involve the sr driver) means that the rest of the SCSI
subsystem and the ide-scsi driver seem to be working
ok. I doubt that this is a problem with the mount
command.

Okay, I'll give that a try, probably testing it on Saturday, and will
give the results of it.  I'd be also interested to see if it works with
those fixes or not.

That's good to hear at least.  :-)  It did seem like ide-scsi was
working fine, given every other operation I could think of other than
mount was working perfectly.

Thanks for the reply!  I'll make sure to say if 2.4.3-ac5 affects things
any.

I've got an update for this problem I emailled about last night (and for
which I only received one reply :-) ).

Strangely enough, I'm able to actually burn a CD using the cd-rw
described below, and can verify data written to it (using X-CD-Roast).
I still can't actually mount a cd in the drive without getting the error
described below, but at least I can burn CDs now.

Does this behavior sound like a kernel problem, or does it suggest a bug
in the 'mount' utility?

Problem with 2.4.1/2.4.3 and CD-RW ide-scsi drive

[Tim Meushaw]

Hi there.  I just got a new CD-RW drive and am trying to get it working
under Linux.  I've got the ide-scsi modules all loaded, but have weird
errors when trying to mount a disk.

Here are the messages from "dmesg" that I get when the ide-cd and
ide-scsi modules are loaded.  My DVD-ROM is /dev/hdc, and the CD-RW is
/dev/hdd (or /dev/sr0):

-----------------------------------------------------
hdc: ATAPI DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache, UDMA(33)
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12
ide-cd: ignoring drive hdd
scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
  Vendor: SONY      Model: CD-RW  CRX160E    Rev: 1.0e
  Type:   CD-ROM                             ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 32x/32x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
-----------------------------------------------------

So, it looks like the drive is attached to /dev/sr0 properly.  Then, I
run "cdrecord -scanbus" to make sure:

-----------------------------------------------------
Cdrecord 1.9 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jörg Schilling
Linux sg driver version: 3.1.17
Using libscg version 'schily-0.1'
scsibus0:
        0,0,0     0) 'SONY    ' 'CD-RW  CRX160E  ' '1.0e' Removable CD-ROM
-----------------------------------------------------

So, it REALLY looks like it's working.  However, here's what I get when
I try to mount an ordinary data CD:

-----------------------------------------------------
athens:~# mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /cdrw
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
SCSI cdrom error : host 0 channel 0 id 0 lun 0 return code = 28000000
[valid=0] Info fld=0x0, Current sd0b:00: sense key Hardware Error
Additional sense indicates Logical unit communication CRC error (Ultra-DMA/32)
 I/O error: dev 0b:00, sector 64
isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev=0b:00, iso_blknum=16, block=32
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
       or too many mounted file systems
-----------------------------------------------------

I've tried this with both kernel 2.4.1 and 2.4.3 and have the exact same
error.  I've also tried multiple data CDs and have the same messages.
The CD-RW is a Sony CRX-160E, plugged in to an Asus A7V motherboard (the
PCI bus is described by "lspci" as "VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8363/8365
[KT133/KM133 AGP]").  I'm not sure what other information I can provide,
but I'll be happy to give anything else that might be needed to help fix
this problem.

Thanks a lot!
Tim
