I've got an update for this problem I emailled about last night (and for which I only received one reply :-) ).

Strangely enough, I'm able to actually burn a CD using the cd-rw described below, and can verify data written to it (using X-CD-Roast). I still can't actually mount a cd in the drive without getting the error described below, but at least I can burn CDs now.

Does this behavior sound like a kernel problem, or does it suggest a bug in the 'mount' utility?

Tim,
At the risk of Jens jumping on this post, I think there was some problem mounting cdroms that is fixed in the "ac" series, the latest of which is 2.4.3-ac5 . Perhaps you could try it and report back.

The fact that you can write a cd (which does not involve the sr driver) means that the rest of the SCSI subsystem and the ide-scsi driver seem to be working ok. I doubt that this is a problem with the mount command.

Okay, I'll give that a try, probably testing it on Saturday, and will give the results of it. I'd be also interested to see if it works with those fixes or not.

That's good to hear at least. :-) It did seem like ide-scsi was working fine, given every other operation I could think of other than mount was working perfectly.

Thanks for the reply! I'll make sure to say if 2.4.3-ac5 affects things any.
