Introduction ---------------- - -The ide-cd driver should work with all ATAPI ver 1.2 to ATAPI 2.6 compliant -CDROM drives which attach to an IDE interface. Note that some CDROM vendors -(including Mitsumi, Sony, Creative, Aztech, and Goldstar) have made -both ATAPI-compliant drives and drives which use a proprietary -interface. If your drive uses one of those proprietary interfaces, -this driver will not work with it (but one of the other CDROM drivers -probably will). This driver will not work with `ATAPI` drives which -attach to the parallel port. In addition, there is at least one drive -(CyCDROM CR520ie) which attaches to the IDE port but is not ATAPI; -this driver will not work with drives like that either (but see the -aztcd driver). - -This driver provides the following features: - - - Reading from data tracks, and mounting ISO 9660 filesystems. - - - Playing audio tracks. Most of the CDROM player programs floating - around should work; I usually use Workman. - - - Multisession support. - - - On drives which support it, reading digital audio data directly - from audio tracks. The program cdda2wav can be used for this. - Note, however, that only some drives actually support this. - - - There is now support for CDROM changers which comply with the - ATAPI 2.6 draft standard (such as the NEC CDR-251). This additional - functionality includes a function call to query which slot is the - currently selected slot, a function call to query which slots contain - CDs, etc. A sample program which demonstrates this functionality is - appended to the end of this file. The Sanyo 3-disc changer - (which does not conform to the standard) is also now supported. - Please note the driver refers to the first CD as slot # 0. - - -2. Installation ---------------- - -0. The ide-cd relies on the ide disk driver. See - Documentation/ide/ide.rst for up-to-date information on the ide - driver. - -1. Make sure that the ide and ide-cd drivers are compiled into the - kernel you're using. When configuring the kernel, in the section - entitled "Floppy, IDE, and other block devices", say either `Y` - (which will compile the support directly into the kernel) or `M` - (to compile support as a module which can be loaded and unloaded) - to the options:: - - ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support - Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support - - Depending on what type of IDE interface you have, you may need to - specify additional configuration options. See - Documentation/ide/ide.rst. - -2. You should also ensure that the iso9660 filesystem is either - compiled into the kernel or available as a loadable module. You - can see if a filesystem is known to the kernel by catting - /proc/filesystems. - -3. The CDROM drive should be connected to the host on an IDE - interface. Each interface on a system is defined by an I/O port - address and an IRQ number, the standard assignments being - 0x1f0 and 14 for the primary interface and 0x170 and 15 for the - secondary interface. Each interface can control up to two devices, - where each device can be a hard drive, a CDROM drive, a floppy drive, - or a tape drive. The two devices on an interface are called `master` - and `slave`; this is usually selectable via a jumper on the drive. - - Linux names these devices as follows. The master and slave devices - on the primary IDE interface are called `hda` and `hdb`, - respectively. The drives on the secondary interface are called - `hdc` and `hdd`. (Interfaces at other locations get other letters - in the third position; see Documentation/ide/ide.rst.) - - If you want your CDROM drive to be found automatically by the - driver, you should make sure your IDE interface uses either the - primary or secondary addresses mentioned above. In addition, if - the CDROM drive is the only device on the IDE interface, it should - be jumpered as `master`. (If for some reason you cannot configure - your system in this manner, you can probably still use the driver. - You may have to pass extra configuration information to the kernel - when you boot, however. See Documentation/ide/ide.rst for more - information.) - -4. Boot the system. If the drive is recognized, you should see a - message which looks like:: - - hdb: NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:260, ATAPI CDROM drive - - If you do not see this, see section 5 below. - -5. You may want to create a symbolic link /dev/cdrom pointing to the - actual device. You can do this with the command:: - - ln -s /dev/hdX /dev/cdrom - - where X should be replaced by the letter indicating where your - drive is installed. - -6. You should be able to see any error messages from the driver with - the `dmesg` command. - - -3. Basic usage --------------- - -An ISO 9660 CDROM can be mounted by putting the disc in the drive and -typing (as root):: - - mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom - -where it is assumed that /dev/cdrom is a link pointing to the actual -device (as described in step 5 of the last section) and /mnt/cdrom is -an empty directory. You should now be able to see the contents of the -CDROM under the /mnt/cdrom directory. If you want to eject the CDROM, -you must first dismount it with a command like:: - - umount /mnt/cdrom - -Note that audio CDs cannot be mounted. - -Some distributions set up /etc/fstab to always try to mount a CDROM -filesystem on bootup. It is not required to mount the CDROM in this -manner, though, and it may be a nuisance if you change CDROMs often. -You should feel free to remove the cdrom line from /etc/fstab and -mount CDROMs manually if that suits you better. - -Multisession and photocd discs should work with no special handling. -The hpcdtoppm package (ftp.gwdg.de:/pub/linux/hpcdtoppm/) may be -useful for reading photocds. - -To play an audio CD, you should first unmount and remove any data -CDROM. Any of the CDROM player programs should then work (workman, -workbone, cdplayer, etc.). - -On a few drives, you can read digital audio directly using a program -such as cdda2wav. The only types of drive which I've heard support -this are Sony and Toshiba drives. You will get errors if you try to -use this function on a drive which does not support it. - -For supported changers, you can use the `cdchange` program (appended to -the end of this file) to switch between changer slots. Note that the -drive should be unmounted before attempting this. The program takes -two arguments: the CDROM device, and the slot number to which you wish -to change. If the slot number is -1, the drive is unloaded. - - -4. Common problems ------------------- - -This section discusses some common problems encountered when trying to -use the driver, and some possible solutions. Note that if you are -experiencing problems, you should probably also review -Documentation/ide/ide.rst for current information about the underlying -IDE support code. Some of these items apply only to earlier versions -of the driver, but are mentioned here for completeness. - -In most cases, you should probably check with `dmesg` for any errors -from the driver. - -a. Drive is not detected during booting. - - - Review the configuration instructions above and in - Documentation/ide/ide.rst, and check how your hardware is - configured. - - - If your drive is the only device on an IDE interface, it should - be jumpered as master, if at all possible. - - - If your IDE interface is not at the standard addresses of 0x170 - or 0x1f0, you'll need to explicitly inform the driver using a - lilo option. See Documentation/ide/ide.rst. (This feature was - added around kernel version 1.3.30.) - - - If the autoprobing is not finding your drive, you can tell the - driver to assume that one exists by using a lilo option of the - form `hdX=cdrom`, where X is the drive letter corresponding to - where your drive is installed. Note that if you do this and you - see a boot message like:: - - hdX: ATAPI cdrom (?) - - this does _not_ mean that the driver has successfully detected - the drive; rather, it means that the driver has not detected a - drive, but is assuming there's one there anyway because you told - it so. If you actually try to do I/O to a drive defined at a - nonexistent or nonresponding I/O address, you'll probably get - errors with a status value of 0xff. - - - Some IDE adapters require a nonstandard initialization sequence - before they'll function properly. (If this is the case, there - will often be a separate MS-DOS driver just for the controller.) - IDE interfaces on sound cards often fall into this category. - - Support for some interfaces needing extra initialization is - provided in later 1.3.x kernels. You may need to turn on - additional kernel configuration options to get them to work; - see Documentation/ide/ide.rst. - - Even if support is not available for your interface, you may be - able to get it to work with the following procedure. First boot - MS-DOS and load the appropriate drivers. Then warm-boot linux - (i.e., without powering off). If this works, it can be automated - by running loadlin from the MS-DOS autoexec. - - -b. Timeout/IRQ errors. - - - If you always get timeout errors, interrupts from the drive are - probably not making it to the host. - - - IRQ problems may also be indicated by the message - `IRQ probe failed ()` while booting. If is zero, that - means that the system did not see an interrupt from the drive when - it was expecting one (on any feasible IRQ). If is negative, - that means the system saw interrupts on multiple IRQ lines, when - it was expecting to receive just one from the CDROM drive. - - - Double-check your hardware configuration to make sure that the IRQ - number of your IDE interface matches what the driver expects. - (The usual assignments are 14 for the primary (0x1f0) interface - and 15 for the secondary (0x170) interface.) Also be sure that - you don't have some other hardware which might be conflicting with - the IRQ you're using. Also check the BIOS setup for your system; - some have the ability to disable individual IRQ levels, and I've - had one report of a system which was shipped with IRQ 15 disabled - by default. - - - Note that many MS-DOS CDROM drivers will still function even if - there are hardware problems with the interrupt setup; they - apparently don't use interrupts. - - - If you own a Pioneer DR-A24X, you _will_ get nasty error messages - on boot such as "irq timeout: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete }" - The Pioneer DR-A24X CDROM drives are fairly popular these days. - Unfortunately, these drives seem to become very confused when we perform - the standard Linux ATA disk drive probe. If you own one of these drives, - you can bypass the ATA probing which confuses these CDROM drives, by - adding `append="hdX=noprobe hdX=cdrom"` to your lilo.conf file and running - lilo (again where X is the drive letter corresponding to where your drive - is installed.) - -c. System hangups. - - - If the system locks up when you try to access the CDROM, the most - likely cause is that you have a buggy IDE adapter which doesn't - properly handle simultaneous transactions on multiple interfaces. - The most notorious of these is the CMD640B chip. This problem can - be worked around by specifying the `serialize` option when - booting. Recent kernels should be able to detect the need for - this automatically in most cases, but the detection is not - foolproof. See Documentation/ide/ide.rst for more information - about the `serialize` option and the CMD640B. - - - Note that many MS-DOS CDROM drivers will work with such buggy - hardware, apparently because they never attempt to overlap CDROM - operations with other disk activity. - - -d. Can't mount a CDROM. - - - If you get errors from mount, it may help to check `dmesg` to see - if there are any more specific errors from the driver or from the - filesystem. - - - Make sure there's a CDROM loaded in the drive, and that's it's an - ISO 9660 disc. You can't mount an audio CD. - - - With the CDROM in the drive and unmounted, try something like:: - - cat /dev/cdrom | od | more - - If you see a dump, then the drive and driver are probably working - OK, and the problem is at the filesystem level (i.e., the CDROM is - not ISO 9660 or has errors in the filesystem structure). - - - If you see `not a block device` errors, check that the definitions - of the device special files are correct. They should be as - follows:: - - brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 0 Nov 11 18:48 /dev/hda - brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 64 Nov 11 18:48 /dev/hdb - brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 Nov 11 18:48 /dev/hdc - brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 64 Nov 11 18:48 /dev/hdd - - Some early Slackware releases had these defined incorrectly. If - these are wrong, you can remake them by running the script - scripts/MAKEDEV.ide. (You may have to make it executable - with chmod first.) - - If you have a /dev/cdrom symbolic link, check that it is pointing - to the correct device file. - - If you hear people talking of the devices `hd1a` and `hd1b`, these - were old names for what are now called hdc and hdd. Those names - should be considered obsolete. - - - If mount is complaining that the iso9660 filesystem is not - available, but you know it is (check /proc/filesystems), you - probably need a newer version of mount. Early versions would not - always give meaningful error messages. - - -e. Directory listings are unpredictably truncated, and `dmesg` shows - `buffer botch` error messages from the driver. - - - There was a bug in the version of the driver in 1.2.x kernels - which could cause this. It was fixed in 1.3.0. If you can't - upgrade, you can probably work around the problem by specifying a - blocksize of 2048 when mounting. (Note that you won't be able to - directly execute binaries off the CDROM in that case.) - - If you see this in kernels later than 1.3.0, please report it as a - bug. - - -f. Data corruption. - - - Random data corruption was occasionally observed with the Hitachi - CDR-7730 CDROM. If you experience data corruption, using "hdx=slow" - as a command line parameter may work around the problem, at the - expense of low system performance. - - -5. cdchange.c -------------- - -:: - - /* - * cdchange.c [-v] [] - * - * This loads a CDROM from a specified slot in a changer, and displays - * information about the changer status.
