This is my second request for HELP! with a FX001D Mitsumi CD-ROM drive, mabe this time I will catch the right person or users that can help me out here...
I am hopeing that someone that also has a CD-ROM drive the FX001D can help me out here, in configuring the cd-rom drive, so that when at bootup it will be mounted... If I boot right from the linux floppy disk, when it gets to the point of mounting my CD-ROM drive I get this: MCD=0X360,11: init Failed. No mcd device at 0x360 irq 11 But if I let the system boot up using MSDOS, it then loads everything encluding my cd-rom drive, then once I get the msdos prompt, I insert the Bootable linux disk into the floppy drive, and do a soft reboot CTRL-ALT-DEL and then it boots up using the Linux floppy... When it gets to the point of loading of the cd-rom drive it then loads in and shows this: MCD=0X360,11: Mitsumi Status type and version: 10 D 2 Double Speed CD ROM Does this mean that when I am asked when installing Debian Modules select Category for cdrom driversthat when it shows the different types like sony, etc, and mcd or MCDX, that it is looking for mcd=0x360,11 10 D 2....??? With this info how can I have it mounted upon booting up Linux, in the FSTAB file, meaning the correct way to type it in fro a MCD type CDROM drive... I have printed out HOW-TO CDROM and it is listed as this for my CD-ROM drive... Loadable module support: YES Device: /dev/mcd, major 23 Configuration file: mcd.h Kernel Config option: Standard Mitsumi CDROM Support ? README file: MCD This file I have not found???? This driver accepts a kernel command line of the form: mcd=<ip-address>, <irq> This I allready know what the I/O and IRQ is mcd=0x360,11 but it is needing something else for it to work right... Here is what the cdrom howto mentioned.. Specifying the I/O base address of the card 0x340 and the irq request number used. The device file can be created using: # mknod /dev/mcd b 23 0 I have done this and it says that it allready exists, this is because I booted up from dos, then did an CTRL-ALT-DEL and then it was mounted upon booting up from my linux boot disk... I would like any info on how to do it correctly so that when I boot directly from my bootdisk that the cdrom drive will work... Also I would like someone to show me the correct way of editing my FSTAB file using the /dev/mcd since I have tried three different ways and have had no luck in doing so... Thanks for any help that you can pass on to me I would appreicate it...
