DVD drive not recognized

Can you put a normal CD in the drive and do:
mkdir -p /mnt/cdrom
mount /dev/hda /mnt/cdrom
The /dev/dvd won't exist, so yes, create a link as /dev/dvd to /dev/hda
If it reads a normal CD, try a DVD.
This uses UDF and must be supported in the kernel (which it should be).
But the module is udf.ko and should get loaded if you access a DVD.

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.

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.
