I am using udev-070, and I cannot seem to find my DVD drive anywhere. My kernel does see it: hdd: PLEXTOR DVDR PX-708A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive But: ls: /dev/dvd: No such file or directory Other possibilities that one might expect, such as cdrom, dvdrw, cdroms* do not exist. In fact, find /dev | grep -i dvd reveals only: /dev/pktcdvd /dev/pktcdvd/control /dev/.udevdb/class@misc@pktcdvd And the same for cdr reveals nothing. I have repeatedly tried udevstart, and even rebooting, to no avail. This leaves me without access to my DVD drive, therefore I cannot read or write CD's or DVD's. I didn't want to think this was a problem with udev or its config, but I have run out of ideas, as have folks in #gentoo.

Pardon me being tired. I meant to cover this in the beginning, not /dev/dvd: ls /dev/hdd ls: /dev/hdd: No such file or directory
I am seeing some sort of change in the handling of DVD & CDRW drives just recently also. This has happened on at least 3 machines: In my case the drives are there but no longer under /dev/cdroms.

For comment #2, what has changed? Your drives are still visible, right?
For comment #1, does your disk show up at all in /sys/block/ ? If not, there's nothing that udev can do about it, it's a kernel configuration issue. What does 'ls /sys/block/' show?
I have gone on a little information gathering run across four systems. All of them found the cd or dvd drive at boot. Except for Quasar, they are all using plextor IDE cd or dvd writers. The first line of each is the system name, please refer to it by that if you want any further info on any of these systems: + fire-eyes (the original bug report was for this system) - udev-070 - kernel 2.6.13.2-grsec-20050925 (changed from bug report time) - /dev/hdd is not in /sys/block/ - DVD drive cannot be found or used + linux2 - udev-070 - kernel 2.6.14-rc2-mm1 - /dev/hda is not in /sys/block/ - DVD drive cannot be found or used + badger - udev-068 - kernel 2.6.13.2-grsec-20050925 - /dev/hda is not in /sys/block/ - DVD drive cannot be found or used + quasar - udev-068-r1 - kernel 2.6.13.2-grsec-20050925 - /dev/hdc is in /sys/block/ - CD drive is found, and can be used
I am very sorry, I don't know what the heck is wrong with me. CORRECTION: + badger - udev-068 - kernel 2.6.13.2-grsec-20050925 - /dev/hda is not in /sys/block/ - DVD drive cannot be found or used Should be: + badger -udev-068 - kernel 2.6.13.2-grsec-20050925 - /dev/hda is in /sys/block/ - DVD drive can be found, and used
is ide-cd loaded?
On "fire-eyes" (only system I have access too right now), it was not loaded. Once I loaded it, /dev/dvd showed up. I never had to manually load this before, I wonder what changed? Anyway I guess that probably shows that it's not a udev issue, but whatever automatically loads modules according to hardware found changed. I think this could be closed now, if Greg thinks it should be. Thanks for the tip, Kay.
closed.
