I'm having the same problem.

My problem's even worse.
Can't see files' list at all after such 'mount' operation.
After DIR command, I get everytime:

Directory of E:\
File *.* not found.

i can not confirm that bug.
so i have no idea.

@qbix: Is there any way to help in finding this bug? I mean some kind of system information or anything else?

The dta points to somewhere near 0x80:0 (because of the
mounts), and a DOS_AllocateMemory (without preceeding
exec, as dir is an internal command) falls into the same
region.
Is it possible to use seg=DOS_GetMemory(size);
in dos_mscdex.cpp at CMscdex::GetVolumeName instead of
the DOS_AllocateMemory(&seg,&size) ? Seems to work then.

Maybe the other occurences (like in GetCopyrightName)
could be changed, too, as i get strange results with
some games when using -ioctl (aitd1, for example), which
do not occur with DOS_GetMemory.

I use gentoo linux with kernel 2.6.7
After
>mount -cd
I get:
CDROMs found: 2
0. /dev/cdrom
1. /dev/cdroms/cdrom1

Using my cdrom 0 - /dev/cdrom:

>mount d /dev/cdrom -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl
MSCDEX installed.
Drive D is mounted as CDRom.

after

>d:
>dir
Directory of D:\
File *.* not found.

Have no directory listing at all everytime I call DIR command.

Dosbox shows, that "Drive E is mounted as CD-Rom", so everything should be okey. When I now type e: and try to list the contents of my inserted cd, by typing dir it does only show the following...
Directory of E:\
File *.* not found.
When I now type dir again, all the files are listed normal.

I can confirm that this happened several times also on my computer with Windows XP (but does not occur everytime I use DOSBox). I do not remember exact conditions, but I have CD-ROM mounted as: mount E E:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl

Yep - with DOSBox 0.62 hosted on Windows XP+SP1, a real CD-ROM as the K-drive, and "mount G "K:\" -t cdrom -ioctl", I too get the "delayed" file listing.

Yeh, Windows XP SP1a. I noticed this but I never really took notice of it. I doesn't occur in 0.61. I have my autoexec in DOSBox.conf to automatically hook to my CDROM on loadup. And when I go to I: and then dir. It shows nothing but on the second dir it reads the drive. In DOSBox 0.61 these does not occur. 😜. (Also it is still occuring like this in the CVS)
I use "mount I: I:\ -t cdrom -ioctl"
Doing this either in or through DOSBox.conf I still get a consistent "second dir" problem.

Aha. I did find something else though. 😜. I played with it a little more as I was typing this up
If I do "mount I: I:\ -t cdrom" I get a consistent "first dir" view.

So there might be something wrong with the "-aspi" and "-ioctl" switches?

*Just to doublecheck the -ioctl switch problem does not occur in DOSBox 0.61.*

yes, i have noticed that it happens:

In winxp always and only if you use -ioctl

In win98se always and only if you use -aspi (by the way, i don't know whether i have aspi-layer installed, how to check that?)

maybe you could test if the cvs works correctly now

thx
