Looking for CDROM in /dev/scd0

[twin_cylinder]

knopppix 3.4 booting with noscsi nopcmcia
I get the following:

Enabling DMA acceleration for: hda [WD ...]
Enabling DMA acceleration for: hdc [SAMSUNG ...]
Looking for CDROM in: /dev/scd0

then it keeps spinging the CDROM drive and nothing happens.
It's on a Dell Optiplex GX150. 3.1 auto boot had no problem at all.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,

Hi !

I have been using 3.3 without any problem. 3.4 seems to hang while searching for the CD drive :

Looking for CDROM in: /dev/scd0
The CD drive spins for a while and then the seach scan for hda, hdb then hangs.

I tried on my other pc and I was able to boot ok.

If someone has a clue of how to make it work, I will give it a try !

I am also having a problem, booting with "linux26 noscsi nodma" it hangs on the line:

Accessing KNOPPIX CDROM on /dev/scd0

but if I switch to the 2.4.236 kernerl with "linux24 noscsi nodma" it boots fine..


What the heck is going on here?!

tanks i see if i can make 2.6 work

me too. i have a dell optiplex and knoppix 3.3 (and 3.2) booted fine without any intervention from me. i download 3.4 (and checked/verified md5) but both the May 4th 2004 and May 10th 2004 releases hang on "looking for CDROM" dev/scd0...I eventually had to use failsafe to boot into KDE.

does anyone have any idea? let me know if you need more info from me. TIA.

knoppix nodma

at the boot prompt worked for me

i have this problem also..

it assigns my cdrom to /dev/hda and my hd to /dev/hdd

but then it scans /dev/scd0 for the knoppix cd..?!

of course it's not there, since the cd is located at /dev/hda. it then spits out the "cannot find knoppix file system"..

how do i fix this??

I noticed you have a SAMSUNG cd drive. Maybe this is the root of our problem because I have one too and I get the same thing.
