Poor Man's .. CDROM problems

**Genettic** · 02-16-2005, 02:34 AM

I am currently booting knoppix 3.4 from the cd drive and then from the boot prompt loading from hd as...

Code:

knoppix myconfig=scan home=scan fromhd=scan

and that will load knoppix just fine.. HOWEVER.. once i remove the knoppix cd (i.e. everything is booted, and is now loading off HD), i can't use any cd drives for audio CDs! if i insert an audio cd into the drive that i used to boot knoppix, it won't mount (mount point doesn't exist). But if i put the knoppix CD back in that loads up just fine. Why?

(I did a tohd=/dev/hda1 earlier, and hda1 is my ONLY partition. it loads as /cdrom when using fromhd=scan // THUS /cdrom is my hard drive contents!)

You can't 'mount' an audio CD in the normal way, you can only access it from an audio application such as xmms or from Konqueror's sidebar audio Cd browser. I'm not sure if Knoppix has all the protocols installed for the audio Cd browser to work.
