61. Introduction
7---------------
8
9The ide-cd driver should work with all ATAPI ver 1.2 to ATAPI 2.6 compliant
10CDROM drives which attach to an IDE interface. Note that some CDROM vendors
11(including Mitsumi, Sony, Creative, Aztech, and Goldstar) have made
12both ATAPI-compliant drives and drives which use a proprietary
13interface. If your drive uses one of those proprietary interfaces,
14this driver will not work with it (but one of the other CDROM drivers
15probably will). This driver will not work with `ATAPI' drives which
16attach to the parallel port. In addition, there is at least one drive
17(CyCDROM CR520ie) which attaches to the IDE port but is not ATAPI;
18this driver will not work with drives like that either (but see the
19aztcd driver).
20
21This driver provides the following features:
22
23 - Reading from data tracks, and mounting ISO 9660 filesystems.
24
25 - Playing audio tracks. Most of the CDROM player programs floating
26 around should work; I usually use Workman.
27
28 - Multisession support.
29
30 - On drives which support it, reading digital audio data directly
31 from audio tracks. The program cdda2wav can be used for this.
32 Note, however, that only some drives actually support this.
33
34 - There is now support for CDROM changers which comply with the
35 ATAPI 2.6 draft standard (such as the NEC CDR-251). This additional
36 functionality includes a function call to query which slot is the
37 currently selected slot, a function call to query which slots contain
38 CDs, etc. A sample program which demonstrates this functionality is
39 appended to the end of this file. The Sanyo 3-disc changer
40 (which does not conform to the standard) is also now supported.
41 Please note the driver refers to the first CD as slot # 0.
42
43
442. Installation
45---------------
46
470. The ide-cd relies on the ide disk driver. See
1c10e938 48 Documentation/ide/ide.txt for up-to-date information on the ide
1da177e4
LT
49 driver.
50
511. Make sure that the ide and ide-cd drivers are compiled into the
52 kernel you're using. When configuring the kernel, in the section
53 entitled "Floppy, IDE, and other block devices", say either `Y'
54 (which will compile the support directly into the kernel) or `M'
55 (to compile support as a module which can be loaded and unloaded)
56 to the options:
57
1ad6e3b2 58 ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support
1da177e4
LT
59 Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support
60
1da177e4
LT
61 Depending on what type of IDE interface you have, you may need to
62 specify additional configuration options. See
1c10e938 63 Documentation/ide/ide.txt.
1da177e4
LT
64
652. You should also ensure that the iso9660 filesystem is either
66 compiled into the kernel or available as a loadable module. You
67 can see if a filesystem is known to the kernel by catting
68 /proc/filesystems.
69
703. The CDROM drive should be connected to the host on an IDE
71 interface. Each interface on a system is defined by an I/O port
72 address and an IRQ number, the standard assignments being
73 0x1f0 and 14 for the primary interface and 0x170 and 15 for the
74 secondary interface. Each interface can control up to two devices,
75 where each device can be a hard drive, a CDROM drive, a floppy drive,
76 or a tape drive. The two devices on an interface are called `master'
77 and `slave'; this is usually selectable via a jumper on the drive.
78
79 Linux names these devices as follows. The master and slave devices
80 on the primary IDE interface are called `hda' and `hdb',
81 respectively. The drives on the secondary interface are called
82 `hdc' and `hdd'. (Interfaces at other locations get other letters
1c10e938 83 in the third position; see Documentation/ide/ide.txt.)
1da177e4
LT
84
85 If you want your CDROM drive to be found automatically by the
86 driver, you should make sure your IDE interface uses either the
87 primary or secondary addresses mentioned above. In addition, if
88 the CDROM drive is the only device on the IDE interface, it should
89 be jumpered as `master'. (If for some reason you cannot configure
90 your system in this manner, you can probably still use the driver.
91 You may have to pass extra configuration information to the kernel
1c10e938 92 when you boot, however. See Documentation/ide/ide.txt for more
1da177e4
LT
93 information.)
94
954. Boot the system. If the drive is recognized, you should see a
96 message which looks like
97
98 hdb: NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:260, ATAPI CDROM drive
99
100 If you do not see this, see section 5 below.
101
1025. You may want to create a symbolic link /dev/cdrom pointing to the
103 actual device. You can do this with the command
104
105 ln -s /dev/hdX /dev/cdrom
106
107 where X should be replaced by the letter indicating where your
108 drive is installed.
109
1106. You should be able to see any error messages from the driver with
111 the `dmesg' command.
112
113
1143. Basic usage
115--------------
116
117An ISO 9660 CDROM can be mounted by putting the disc in the drive and
118typing (as root)
119
120 mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
121
122where it is assumed that /dev/cdrom is a link pointing to the actual
123device (as described in step 5 of the last section) and /mnt/cdrom is
124an empty directory. You should now be able to see the contents of the
125CDROM under the /mnt/cdrom directory. If you want to eject the CDROM,
126you must first dismount it with a command like
127
128 umount /mnt/cdrom
129
130Note that audio CDs cannot be mounted.
131
132Some distributions set up /etc/fstab to always try to mount a CDROM
133filesystem on bootup. It is not required to mount the CDROM in this
134manner, though, and it may be a nuisance if you change CDROMs often.
135You should feel free to remove the cdrom line from /etc/fstab and
136mount CDROMs manually if that suits you better.
137
138Multisession and photocd discs should work with no special handling.
139The hpcdtoppm package (ftp.gwdg.de:/pub/linux/hpcdtoppm/) may be
140useful for reading photocds.
141
142To play an audio CD, you should first unmount and remove any data
143CDROM. Any of the CDROM player programs should then work (workman,
b911e473 144workbone, cdplayer, etc.).
1da177e4
LT
145
146On a few drives, you can read digital audio directly using a program
147such as cdda2wav. The only types of drive which I've heard support
148this are Sony and Toshiba drives. You will get errors if you try to
149use this function on a drive which does not support it.
150
151For supported changers, you can use the `cdchange' program (appended to
152the end of this file) to switch between changer slots. Note that the
153drive should be unmounted before attempting this. The program takes
154two arguments: the CDROM device, and the slot number to which you wish
155to change. If the slot number is -1, the drive is unloaded.
156
157
1c8a3751 1584. Common problems
1da177e4
LT
159------------------
160
161This section discusses some common problems encountered when trying to
162use the driver, and some possible solutions. Note that if you are
163experiencing problems, you should probably also review
1c10e938 164Documentation/ide/ide.txt for current information about the underlying
1da177e4
LT
165IDE support code. Some of these items apply only to earlier versions
166of the driver, but are mentioned here for completeness.
167
168In most cases, you should probably check with `dmesg' for any errors
169from the driver.
170
171a. Drive is not detected during booting.
172
173 - Review the configuration instructions above and in
1c10e938 174 Documentation/ide/ide.txt, and check how your hardware is
1da177e4
LT
175 configured.
176
177 - If your drive is the only device on an IDE interface, it should
178 be jumpered as master, if at all possible.
179
180 - If your IDE interface is not at the standard addresses of 0x170
181 or 0x1f0, you'll need to explicitly inform the driver using a
1c10e938 182 lilo option. See Documentation/ide/ide.txt. (This feature was
1da177e4
LT
183 added around kernel version 1.3.30.)
184
185 - If the autoprobing is not finding your drive, you can tell the
186 driver to assume that one exists by using a lilo option of the
187 form `hdX=cdrom', where X is the drive letter corresponding to
188 where your drive is installed. Note that if you do this and you
189 see a boot message like
190
191 hdX: ATAPI cdrom (?)
192
193 this does _not_ mean that the driver has successfully detected
194 the drive; rather, it means that the driver has not detected a
195 drive, but is assuming there's one there anyway because you told
196 it so. If you actually try to do I/O to a drive defined at a
197 nonexistent or nonresponding I/O address, you'll probably get
198 errors with a status value of 0xff.
199
200 - Some IDE adapters require a nonstandard initialization sequence
201 before they'll function properly. (If this is the case, there
202 will often be a separate MS-DOS driver just for the controller.)
203 IDE interfaces on sound cards often fall into this category.
204
205 Support for some interfaces needing extra initialization is
206 provided in later 1.3.x kernels. You may need to turn on
207 additional kernel configuration options to get them to work;
1c10e938 208 see Documentation/ide/ide.txt.
1da177e4
LT
209
210 Even if support is not available for your interface, you may be
211 able to get it to work with the following procedure. First boot
212 MS-DOS and load the appropriate drivers. Then warm-boot linux
213 (i.e., without powering off). If this works, it can be automated
214 by running loadlin from the MS-DOS autoexec.
215
216
217b. Timeout/IRQ errors.
218
219 - If you always get timeout errors, interrupts from the drive are
220 probably not making it to the host.
221
222 - IRQ problems may also be indicated by the message
223 `IRQ probe failed (<n>)' while booting. If <n> is zero, that
224 means that the system did not see an interrupt from the drive when
225 it was expecting one (on any feasible IRQ). If <n> is negative,
226 that means the system saw interrupts on multiple IRQ lines, when
227 it was expecting to receive just one from the CDROM drive.
228
229 - Double-check your hardware configuration to make sure that the IRQ
230 number of your IDE interface matches what the driver expects.
231 (The usual assignments are 14 for the primary (0x1f0) interface
232 and 15 for the secondary (0x170) interface.) Also be sure that
233 you don't have some other hardware which might be conflicting with
234 the IRQ you're using. Also check the BIOS setup for your system;
235 some have the ability to disable individual IRQ levels, and I've
236 had one report of a system which was shipped with IRQ 15 disabled
237 by default.
238
239 - Note that many MS-DOS CDROM drivers will still function even if
240 there are hardware problems with the interrupt setup; they
241 apparently don't use interrupts.
242
243 - If you own a Pioneer DR-A24X, you _will_ get nasty error messages
244 on boot such as "irq timeout: status=0x50 { DriveReady SeekComplete }"
245 The Pioneer DR-A24X CDROM drives are fairly popular these days.
246 Unfortunately, these drives seem to become very confused when we perform
247 the standard Linux ATA disk drive probe. If you own one of these drives,
248 you can bypass the ATA probing which confuses these CDROM drives, by
249 adding `append="hdX=noprobe hdX=cdrom"' to your lilo.conf file and running
250 lilo (again where X is the drive letter corresponding to where your drive
251 is installed.)
252
253c. System hangups.
254
255 - If the system locks up when you try to access the CDROM, the most
256 likely cause is that you have a buggy IDE adapter which doesn't
257 properly handle simultaneous transactions on multiple interfaces.
258 The most notorious of these is the CMD640B chip. This problem can
259 be worked around by specifying the `serialize' option when
260 booting. Recent kernels should be able to detect the need for
261 this automatically in most cases, but the detection is not
1c10e938 262 foolproof. See Documentation/ide/ide.txt for more information
1da177e4
LT
263 about the `serialize' option and the CMD640B.
264
265 - Note that many MS-DOS CDROM drivers will work with such buggy
266 hardware, apparently because they never attempt to overlap CDROM
267 operations with other disk activity.
268
269
270d. Can't mount a CDROM.
271
272 - If you get errors from mount, it may help to check `dmesg' to see
273 if there are any more specific errors from the driver or from the
274 filesystem.
275
276 - Make sure there's a CDROM loaded in the drive, and that's it's an
277 ISO 9660 disc. You can't mount an audio CD.
278
279 - With the CDROM in the drive and unmounted, try something like
280
281 cat /dev/cdrom | od | more
282
283 If you see a dump, then the drive and driver are probably working
284 OK, and the problem is at the filesystem level (i.e., the CDROM is
285 not ISO 9660 or has errors in the filesystem structure).
286
287 - If you see `not a block device' errors, check that the definitions
288 of the device special files are correct. They should be as
289 follows:
290
291 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 0 Nov 11 18:48 /dev/hda
292 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 64 Nov 11 18:48 /dev/hdb
293 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 0 Nov 11 18:48 /dev/hdc
294 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 22, 64 Nov 11 18:48 /dev/hdd
295
296 Some early Slackware releases had these defined incorrectly. If
297 these are wrong, you can remake them by running the script
298 scripts/MAKEDEV.ide. (You may have to make it executable
299 with chmod first.)
300
301 If you have a /dev/cdrom symbolic link, check that it is pointing
302 to the correct device file.
303
304 If you hear people talking of the devices `hd1a' and `hd1b', these
305 were old names for what are now called hdc and hdd. Those names
306 should be considered obsolete.
307
308 - If mount is complaining that the iso9660 filesystem is not
309 available, but you know it is (check /proc/filesystems), you
310 probably need a newer version of mount. Early versions would not
311 always give meaningful error messages.
312
313
314e. Directory listings are unpredictably truncated, and `dmesg' shows
315 `buffer botch' error messages from the driver.
316
317 - There was a bug in the version of the driver in 1.2.x kernels
318 which could cause this. It was fixed in 1.3.0. If you can't
319 upgrade, you can probably work around the problem by specifying a
320 blocksize of 2048 when mounting. (Note that you won't be able to
321 directly execute binaries off the CDROM in that case.)
322
323 If you see this in kernels later than 1.3.0, please report it as a
324 bug.
325
326
327f. Data corruption.
328
329 - Random data corruption was occasionally observed with the Hitachi
330 CDR-7730 CDROM. If you experience data corruption, using "hdx=slow"
331 as a command line parameter may work around the problem, at the
332 expense of low system performance.
