Doesn't seem to:
[root@pc dev]# mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/temp -t iso9660
mount: /dev/scd0 is not a valid block device
I did some more sleuthing, and found that the line
Dec 13 12:28:13 pc modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module block-major-11
(current date, of course)
gets added to /var/log/messages whenever I try, so it seems either I need to
add "alias block-major-11 <something>" to /etc/modules.conf OR that alias is
default, and I just have to compile the target. A little googling showed
the likely candidate to be sr_mod. Hey, I don't know why that wasn't
compiled; it had been under previous versions. Maybe I figured that since
I didn't have a real SCSI CD any more (I used to), I didn't need it.
Anyhow, I did 'make dep modules', then as root 'cp
/usr/src/linux-2.4.26/drivers/scsi/sr_mod.o
/lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/scsi' and 'depmod' and it seems to work,
without modification to /etc/modules.conf.
