My CDROm drive Samsung CD writer RW 8.4.32 is recognised by the kernel, but when i try to mount the CDROm, I get a message /dev/cdrom improper device or device does not exist. I have the following line in lilo.conf append="hdc=ide-scsi" This used to work and still works on Caldera with kernel 2.4.2 (PCQuest CD's)loaded in another partition.
the append line in your lilo.conf means that scsi emulation is used for your drive(cd burning programs require it). try mounting /dev/scd0 as your cdrom drive..
