Hi,
The DVD drive is an IDE device.
dmesg shows up this: hda: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4081B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM
drive.
So, I think the DVD drive is being recognized.
/etc/modules.conf and /etc/modprobe.conf are identical.
The lspci output is:

I have updated my modutils module to the latest one that came with the
kernel.
There is no device such as /dev/dvd. Should I just create a link anyway
(ln -sf /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd)?
Thanks,
Saurabh.
