Hi anyone,
This question ma have appeared a zillion times on this list.
But I'm posting after searching the net.
I want to mount a cd in the HP CDWriterplus 7500 series
externalcd writer. So I did
(My kernel is compiled for parallelport support on 378)
modprobe paride
modprobe epat
modprobe pg
and in dmesg the kernel recognised the Parallelport device
correctly as pg0
But when I say mount /dev/pg0 /mnt/cdrom
(after making a mknod of /dev/pg0)
I'm getting the error from mount saying that
/dev/pg0 is not a block device .
What is the problem ?
here's the part of dmesg (if anybody wants)
------------------------------------------
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP,TRISTATE,EPP]
