DVD drive not recognized

[Kevin Jackson]

Saurabh,
You don't say whether your DVD drive is SCSI or IDE.
Either way, have you checked the output of dmesg and the /var/log/dmesg file
for any reference to your DVD drive?

It seems strange that your DVD drive isn't there. Perhaps this is on a SCSI
card that isn't being recognised by the running kernel?

Can you provide lspci output and verify that the SCSI/IDE cards listed are
all being recognised by the kernel (check with lsmod)

Compare the /etc/modules.conf (for 2.4) and /etc/modprobe.conf (for 2.6) -
are they the same?

Kev

Subject: DVD drive not recognized

Hi,

I run RHEL 3 on a dual-opteron machines. I had been having a lot of 
"Northbridge Errors" due to which I decided to switch to the 2.6 kernel 
(it's a long story!). I am now running kernel-2.6.6-1.435.2.3smp. The 
northbridge errors are all gone, but the system does not recognize my 
DVD drive at all. I booted with the old RHEL kernel, and it worked just 
fine. Is there anything else I need to upgrade along with the kernel?

Thanks,
Saurabh.
