Looks like you are still using the deprecated disk drivers, and you'd |
6 |
probably be better off getting rid of those drivers completely and using |
7 |
the newer replacements. |

|

e.g. in 'make menuconfig' select the Device Drivers item and look at line 8: |
10 |
< > ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support (DEPRECATED) ---> |
11 |
|
12 |
Notice I have that option un-selected, and I'd suggest you try the same. |

Now look two lines below that: |

<*> Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers ---> |

I have an older machine, so my DVD is supported by the VIA PATA driver, |
18 |
but your motherboard may use something else, of course. |

|
20 |
The point is: my DVD is a regular old PATA drive, but because of the |
21 |
newer device driver it now shows up this way: |
22 |
|
23 |
$ls -l /dev/dvd |
24 |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2010-08-17 04:46 /dev/dvd -> sr0 |
25 |
|
26 |
I didn't do anything to cause that. udev took care of it without my help, |
27 |
and everything Just Worked. |

Well, not quite true. I did change my /etc/fstab, but I'm now using disk |
30 |
labels in fstab instead of device names. If you still use device names |
31 |
you'll need to change /dev/hd* to /dev/sd* in fstab when using the new |
32 |
disk drivers. |
