It can be much more tricky than this thread leads you to suspect: The easy way: Never do that (install on IDE the use SCSI) Another one: Boot knoppix and spelunk (find out which modules are used, what device the CDROM is) 1) You need to ensure the modules needed for SCSI CDROM are loaded From dim memory sd and/or sr look in your /lib/modules/<version> 2) ID which device the CDROM is 3) For fun: symlink /dev/cdrom-device /dev/cdrom 4) Put an (auto)mount line in /etc/fstab If everything is correct, but the module is not loaded, you will get error messages.
