I'm an absolute beginner at Linux, so please bear with me:
The DVD-RW works correctly under 2.4.27, but sound does not, so I downloaded the debian kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686-smp and my DVD-RW is no longer recognized, under "Devices" in Konquerer:
Floppy
Hard Disc (dev)[/.dev]
Hard Disc (dev)[/media/cdrom0]
... etc ...
With a DVD in the tray (or CD), when I open (hda)[/media/cdrom0] I get the message:
"mount: special device /dev/hda does not exist
Please check that the disk is entered correctly."
followed by
"mount: special device /dev/hda does not exist
Please check that the disk is entered correctly."
My system specs are here:

I've had both Fedora Core 3 and Mandrake 10.1 successfully installed on this same system.
I've been googling and reading these forums for a couple of hours and am at wit's end, any ideas?
