Mounting firewire cdrw

[lillusion]

I have installed Slackware 10 into my acer travelmate laptop. During installation it detected my firewire cdrw. This the boot-up message:

scsi0

quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
scsi0 Chanel: 001d:00 Lun:00
Vendor: SONY Model:CD-RW CRX830E Rev. JYA1
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



the mounted device is /dev/sr0

After installation, I edit fstab with
/dev/sr0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,user,ro 0,0

and also in lilo.conf, I added append="hdc=ide-scsi"


However, after installation, it gives the message no block device whenever I tried to mount the cdrw.

This is my lsmod

I'm very appreciate if somebody could help me on this
From the question, you can guest that I'm totally newbie in linux.
The last thing I'm expected is to recompile the kernel.

[adrenaline]

I am new to Slackware but in RED Hat my scsi was scd0. Might be different in slackware.
Something to try.
Mike

[Goran]

Try typing /etc/rc.d/rc.hotplug start. If you get a error message type chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.hotplug and then try again. Then type cdrecord -scanbus to see if it is there. After that try mounting it again.

[lillusion]

did that.
I'm also symlink the device by typing this command.

ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom

I've also checked that I have modprobe these device:
ieee1394
ohci1394
sbp2
(see earlier post)

[lillusion]

Finally I've got it worked.
I have to put this magic command (in su mode): rescan-scsi-bus
This text will appear after the command.

scsi0 Chanel: 001d:00 Lun:00
Vendor: SONY Model:CD-RW CRX830E Rev. JYA1
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02

However, I can only eject the cd by typing eject command, not by pressing the eject button.

Any suggestion how I can automatically run this command during start-up?

[heartsmagic]

First of all it must be
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom or(writer) as adrenaline told.
And you dont need to give the command every time.

But if you cant fix as i told you can put the command in your
/etc/rc.d/rc.local file.

Something about eject; If you unmuont the writer you can use the button.

umount /mnt/cdrom
