Ok, so ive got it booting more or less reliably now (with the latest sources). The devices I get are hda0, hda1, jnode and sg0.

doing a DIR command in the sg0 drive shows no files at all. It does spin up the cdrom though.

suggestions?

There also seems to be an issue with cd mounting

Ive posted a sequence in the JNode-FS forum for switching cd's and having it read the directory correctly.

Debug console

You can access to debug console via ALT-F7. Could you verify that there are no erros after dir command. Do the following :

Go to DEBUG console (ALT-F7) before dir and verify last logging status.
Go to main console (ALT-F1) and execute dir.
Return to DEBUG console and check if there are errors or exception traces.

I tried dir command on some CD and it works but i never test it with jnode cdrom itself.

if i do it with the boot

if i do it with the boot cd, i just get some messages from the [IDECommand] "read data 12" and "packet command ready"

just tried it with a different disk altogether and i DID get the expected directory listing.

It does fail if i run the DIR command before it finishes spinning up the cd and in that case i get the debug message "[IDECommand] Packet command aborted, error 0x24".

tried re-inserting the boot cd and still shows up as empty. The debug logs indicate that it does read it (read data and packet commands etc).

I wonder what it is about the boot cd that stops the directory listing.
