/dev/cdrom is always a symlink, to something like /dev/hdb for the actual device, as you suspected.
Try something like 'dmesg | grep hd' -- is the CD-ROM detected at all during the kernel boot ? (You may also try 'dmesg|grep sd' in case you're using IDE-SCSI.) Also, do you have evidence that this CD-ROM works at all on the laptop? I have problems with mine from time to time; probably hardware related. --Jeremy On Fri, 2003-07-18 at 13:04, Ryan Leathers wrote: > On a laptop install of RH9 I am looking at there is no /dev/cdrom > Editing fstab yields nothing since there is no device. > I have tried to MAKEDEV cdrom but nothing seems to happen. > Linking hdb to cdrom gets me nowhere. > Any ideas? -- /---------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jeremy Portzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] trilug.org/~jeremy | | GPG Fingerprint: 712D 77C7 AB2D 2130 989F E135 6F9F F7BC CC1A 7B92 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------/
