I just bought a media vision CDR-H93MV CDROM and the associated Jazz 16
sound card. The sound card has a Future domain SCSI chip on it and I
merrily recompiled the kernel together with the seagate scsi driver
(took me a while to figure that out). All went well except
that it didn't see the SCSI card at all and so I forced the issue by
defining IRQ, CONTROLLER and OVERRIDE in the scsi Makefile. Lo an behold
it saw my card and identified the CDROM but it refuses to mount it
giving the message in the subject above. Workbone will play audio CD's
for me but that's it. The drive works perfectly from Novell Dos however.
I definitely have iso9660 compiled in :
netrider:$ cat /proc/filesystems
minix
ext2
msdos
nodev proc
nodev nfs
iso9660
and the cdrom device stuff is there (pick one ... I even created a sr0
just to be sure that that wasn't the problem):
netrider:~$ ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Aug 5 14:59 /dev/cdrom ->
scd0
netrider:~$ ls -l /dev/scd0
brw-rw-rw- 1 root disk 11, 0 Jul 18 1994 /dev/scd0
netrider:~$ ls -l /dev/sr0
brw-r--r-- 1 root root 11, 0 Aug 7 20:49 /dev/sr0
The cdrom in the drive says iso9660 on it and I have used it before in
other drives. I also tried a el-cheapo freebie cdrom that came with a
magazine ... no luck either.
I have tried the dd trick as set out in the CDROM-HOWTO:
netrider:~$ dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/dev/null bs=2048
[^C]
983+0 records in
983+0 records out
but still:
netrider:/home/cschle# mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/cdrom /mnt
mount: /dev/cdrom not a mount point
Other useful info for anyone who wants to try to shed some light on the
problem: Slackware 2.3, 386DX40, vlb ide card, 20M RAM, linux-1.1.15.

The message seems to come from inode.c but I'm not exactly a kernel
genius so what to do next is a mystery ... <hint, hint>
Could the SLOW_HANDSHAKE, FAST32 defines have anything to do with the
problem?
Sorry if this was a little long or if I have overlooked something really
simple. Thank You,
