[Solved] No CDROM Drive detected

Hi,

I can't see my hard drive in /dev/* ?
Don't really understand why though. Anybody as an idea ?

Regards,
Maxime

How are you booting your system?

If its not from a LiveCD you'll need to check you have the correct chipsets compiled into your kernel.

If its from a LiveCD then go download the latest autobuild and try that.

Hi,

Nah, it's from an actual install.
It worked great at installation from a LiveCD, and as far as I'm concerned everything works for the moment.

But, the problem is that now I can't even see the cd in my /dev/* list of devices. (No hd*, sr*, cdrom* links ... )

I guess it's indeed something I missed in kernel. But can't really figure out what :s

Thanks && Regards,
Maxime

Hi,

Fixed now, don't really know what did it. Just emerged the new kernel (2.6.30) and re-configured/compiled it.

Thanks anyway,
Maxime
