Good Day,
Have a CD ROM question here.
Background: I recently upgraded my machine from RH6.2 to Debian 2.2r2.
Hardware has not changed.
Upgraded to kernel 2.4.0-test11, the same kernel I was running under RH,
configured the same way.
None of my filesystems are built as modules (all built in to kernel).
I have a properly written fstab file.
Symptoms:
Attempts to mount a CD from console (init 3) result in a modprobe complaint
about not being able to find nls_iso8859-1. The CD mounts nonetheless
(verified with mtab)
Attempts to mount from an Xterm while in init 5 result in no warnings, and
the CD mounts.
In both cases, listing /mnt/cdrom (the mount point) produces an empty
directory. The disks were readable under RH6.2 and read under both Win and
Mac.
I don't understand the reference to modprobe...I have exactly *one* item
built as a module - my Nvidia driver. Everything else is built-in, so why is
modprobe getting involved?
I've checked to make sure that modules.conf is setup properly, and the
correct system.map is installed.
I've tried the mount as a user, and as root.
I've chmod both devices to 777.
I'm out of ideas.
Any suggestions?
