Trouble mounting CDROM using 2.6 Kernel

[Sergio Salvi]

Jim, does any of the commands below return anything?

cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/driver
cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/model
dmesg | grep hdc

Do you have the ide-cdrom module loaded or compiled in the kernel? Check /proc/ide/drivers.

And, the last thing, "grep iso9660 /proc/filesystems" shows anything?

As a reference, here's my output:

# cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/driver
ide-cdrom version 4.60

# cat /proc/ide/ide1/hdc/model
_NEC DVD+RW ND-5100A

# dmesg | grep hdc
    ide1: BM-DMA at 0xbfa8-0xbfaf, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio
hdc: _NEC DVD+RW ND-5100A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdc: ATAPI 24X DVD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, UDMA(33)

# cat /proc/ide/drivers
ide-cdrom version 4.60
ide-disk version 1.18

[]s,
Sergio Salvi.
