/dev/cdrom is just a symbolic link to wherever your CD-ROM really is. Type ls -l /dev/cdrom to see where it's linked, and make sure its linked to the right device. If you have IDE devices, hda is the Master device on the Primary controller, hdb is the Slave device on the Primary controller, hdc is the Master device on the Secondary controller and hdd is the Slave device on the Secondary controller. So, if /dev/cdrom is linked to the Slave device on the Secondary controller (hdd), but your cdrom is actually the Slave device on the Primary controller (hdb), just change your /dev/cdrom link(rm /dev/cdrom; ln -s /dev/hdb /dev/cdrom).

Subject: CD player won't!

Hello:

I recently installed Mandrake 7.0 and it went pretty well. One annoyance is that the CD player won't work. It's Kscd 1.2.7. It isn't able to recognize when I have a CD in the drive; it always thinks it's "ejected." Under "settings", the device is set as /dev/cdrom, so this must be OK. I know I can read CD's, because that's how I installed it, and automount works for data CD's. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance,

Vaughn Treude
