Audocd's play in my dvd player but dvd's do not
 

audio cd's play in my dvd player,

ls -la /dev/cdrom
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 13 Apr 1 19:56 /dev/cdrom -> cdroms/cdrom0


ls -la /dev/dvd
ls: /dev/dvd: No such file or directory

So does this mean I need to somehow link /dev/dvd to /dev/cdroms/cdrom0

my /etc/fstab looks like this

/dev/BOOT /boot ext3 noauto,noatime $/dev/ROOT / ext3 noatime $/dev/SWAP none swap sw $/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro $proc /proc proc defaults $


Thanks

I created a sym link from /dev/hdd (my dvd drive) to /dev/dvd and this seemed to work for me atleast.

If your dvd software is trying to use /dev/dvd then yes linking /dev/dvd to your dvd drive should do it. Conversely you could simply tell your dvd software to use /dev/cdrom.

If that doesn't get it for you post with some system details please.

Is this what your fstab actually looks like? It's kind of a mess. ;)
