Had the same problem, etch only found the external USB CDROM drive that it had 
been installed with. So I made 2 entries in /etc/fstab

/dev/scd0   /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0   0
/dev/hdb/media/cdrom1   udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0   0
/dev/sr0/cdrom2   udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 
  0
/dev/hdc/media/cdrom2   udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0   0

So I made 2 entries in /etc/fstab The last two. The first were created by the 
installer. The second two were created by me.

Might have to reboot to get them recognised.

Hope that helps.

Charlie

/dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrw both point to the writer

2006-08-08 Thread H.S.
Whenever I reboot my Debian Etch, running 2.6.15 or 2.6.16, both 
/dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrw links point to the same device /dev/hdd which 
is a CD writer. The CD reader drive, /dev/hdc, is apparently not 
detected to have a link created. I always have to recreate the 
/dev/cdrom link to /dev/hdc for it to work. However, the drive does work 
by just using /dev/hdc though.


Am I missing something here? I was expecting that /dev/cdrom should be 
pointing to /dev/hdc and /dev/cdrw should be pointing to /dev/hdd.


I have udev 0.093-1 and use KDE, if it matters.

thanks,
->HS
