[PlanetCCRMA] Simple test - alsaplayer

Fernando,
   It is the drive reordering problem in the Planet kernel.

/dev/hdd has apparently become /dev/hdh. This is the way I think it is
working on this machine:

C=chipset
A=Adapter
P=Primary controller
S=Secondary controller
Ma=IDE Master
Sl=IDE Slave

	Device	Redhat		Planet
C-P-Ma	drive	/dev/hda	/dev/hde
C-P-Sl		/dev/hdb	/dev/hdf
C-S-Ma		/dev/hdc	/dev/hdg
C-S-Sl	CDROM	/dev/hdd	/dev/hdh
A-P-Ma		/dev/hde	/dev/hda	
A-P-Sl		/dev/hdf	/dev/hdb
A-S-Ma		/dev/hdg	/dev/hdc
A-S-Sl		/dev/hdh	/dev/hdd

I find that the only address that responds at all to a mount command is
/dev/hdh, the remapped address for the CDROM:

[root@Godzilla root]# mount /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom
mount: /dev/hdd is not a valid block device
[root@Godzilla root]# mount /dev/hdh /dev/cdrom
/dev/hdh: Input/output error
mount: block device /dev/hdh is write-protected, mounting read-only
/dev/hdh: Input/output error
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[root@Godzilla root]#
[root@Godzilla root]# mount /dev/hdh /dev/cdrom -t iso9660
mount: block device /dev/hdh is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdh,
       or too many mounted file systems

I need to read about this though. I guess I have to mkdev or something
to make a new CDROM that would be associated with /dev/hdh?????
