Salix Live Xfce 13.37 RC2
Re: Salix Live Xfce 13.37 RC2
No, the CD is completely invisible (even to Gmountman) - except for the modules in /mnt/salt/mnt, which I'm assuming come ultimately from the CD and not the stick. The stick with the .live file also appears there, not in /media, and is invisible to gmountman as well.
Re: Salix Live Xfce 13.37 RC2
The modules under /mnt/salt/mnt are the ones SaLT uses. If gmountman does not see the CD, then I'm pretty sure that SaLT have not seen the CD too, so the modules are the one from the stick. So in this case the problem is that the CD is not visible to Linux in some way. Could you (after booting in the live like you did, i.e. CD+USB) do this :
and post here the result.

Re: Salix Live Xfce 13.37 RC2
Could you upload the output of dmesg somewhere after having booted from 13.37 cdrom + usb (some pastebin e.g.).
Do you possibly have any other Linux installation/LiveCD/... on that machine where the cdrom drive is visible? 13.1 Live? If so that could help us to find out whether this is specific to Salix or a specific version and what exactly is going wrong. Maybe the cdrom drive appears when only booting from USB?
Also what kind of drive is this, i.e. how is it physically connected (SATA/IDE/SCSI)? If SATA is the BIOS set to AHCI or IDE/Legacy/... mode?

Re: Salix Live Xfce 13.37 RC2
I'll try and work out about pastebin. How should I investigate the SATA / IDE question?
I'm afraid I wiped 13.1 to do the testing, though if there's time I could try downloading some USB-capable distro.
Today's my last day in Rio (therefore with access to this machine) but I'll see what I can do!
It occurs to me it might actually be a bad burn, and booted at home because the needed .live file and persistence were knocking about somewhere on the hard disk, or maybe I even had a USB plugged in. I don't think so ...

Re: Salix Live Xfce 13.37 RC2
It appears that the Linux kernel does not detect your optical drive. How is it connected to the PC ? Can you change some BIOS option about it, as suggested by Shador ?
Re: Salix Live Xfce 13.37 RC2
@ JRD
I'm not really sure how to investigate - also my time is now short here. Can you give me any hints?
Windows detects the CD fine, and it does also boot into GRUB.

Re: Salix Live Xfce 13.37 RC2
I would like to...but I don't have any clue why the kernel does not recognize the Cdrom drive. grub2 detect it, so it's weird.
Re: Salix Live Xfce 13.37 RC2
Not very surprising imho as grub doesn't need to support it itself. By default it just relies on the BIOS to access any sort of disk. And that's what's used for the livecd too as it's the most reliable solution.JRD wrote: grub2 detect it, so it's weird.
You can try this:

mount /dev/sg0 /mnt
Code: Select all
mount /dev/sr0 /mnt
Code: Select all
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
Code: Select all
umount /mnt
