installing a PCMCIA CDrom problem

**kchung** · 07-26-2002, 01:07 AM

Dear Friends,

I have installed debian in my fujitsu P1030 laptop. It doesn't have a internal cdrom so i got to install the pcmcia cdrom.

But when i insert the pcmcia cdrom into the computer. it doesn't detect it . I am also not sure of how to mount the cdrom.

Does anyone know how to solve my problem? I looked in
http://www.linux-laptop.net/ but there are no solution there.
So anyone? please help me .

Thank you .

Using a PCMCIA SCSI or IDE adaptor you can connect external CD-ROM drives to a laptop. Once the appropriate PCMCIA kernel driver is installed the drives will appear like any other IDE or SCSI drives.

i am assuming pcmcia is installed and working - can ya see a directory in /proc/ide/ for it?
