Hi tekion,

I followed your advise, and found out that my cdrom is
not detected during boot. I checked the link you gave me
and got the following (my cdrom is SONY):
=======================================
Principal author: Ken Pizzini ([email protected])
Multiple drive support: no
Loadable module support: yes
Reading audio frames: no
Auto-probing: no
Device file: /dev/sonycd535, major 24
Configuration file: sonycd535.h
Kernel config option: Sony CDU535 CDROM support
Documentation file: sonycd535

This driver accepts a kernel command line of the form:

sonycd535=

where is the base address of the controller (e.g. 0x320). Alternatively you can set the address in the file sonycd535.h and compile it in.

The device file can be created using:

# mknod /dev/sonycd535 b 24 0

=======================================

What am I going to do here?
I tried :

# mknod /dev/sonycd535 b 24 0
# mount /dev/sonycd535

and it did not work....
Please help
