i have 2 cd drivers, one dvd and one cdrw. I now have slackware 9.1 When i had the 2.4 kernel, i could use them both. However i have recompiled my kernel to a 2.6.7 and i can' mount them. I have managed to mount my first driver, the dvd one. However, when i give the mount command, it tels me: /dev/hdd is not a valid block device. However it wa a valid one before. When i recompiled the kernel i had to change the device of my first drive from /dev/sr0 to /dev/hdc . therefore i think i should change the second on from /dev/hdd to something else (in the last kernel it was /dev/hdc, and now /dev/hdc is the dvd). I don't know what it could be. I have tried /dev/cdrom /dev/sr0 /dev/hdd, and nothing works. Please help me. This way i ca't write cd's.

Help ME! Please!
thank you in advanced

Just a thought...

All such devices are located in /dev so list them all and have a closer look at the more unique ones. Perhaps dumping their names into google/linux and seeing if something dvd/cd like comes back.

See if this helps; http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=234578
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrw iso9660 noauto,users,ro 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/dvd iso9660 noauto,users,ro 0 0
just make sure in /mnt you may need to add the dir /mnt/cdrw and /mnt/dvd
