Hi, again.I have another problem.I have installed Slackware 10.I have also 3 cdroms(2 cd-rw and dvdrom)but the system detect me only the dvd-rom.Any suggestion how to fix this.

How do you know it detect only dvd-rom ?

Are they IDE drives ? if yes, what is the output with :
ls /proc/ide

and :
cat /proc/ide/hd*/model

Post your /etc/fstab file. If it lists only one CDROM drive (/dev/hdc mounted on /mnt/cdrom most likely) than you may only need to add the other two.

...and can you post the output of " $dmesg |grep hd " ?

egag

Could you post the output of:
sysvbanner cdrom

Yes.They are IDE drives.When I am typing cat /proc/ide/hd*/model it detect the model of my drivers but i cannot see them in the Computer, so I cannot use them when I am inserting media in it.

that's it.

bash-2.05b# is /proc/ide
bash: is: command not found
bash-2.05b# cat /proc/ide/hdc/model
TEAC CD-W552E
bash-2.05b# cat /proc/ide/hdb/model
HITACHI DVD-ROM GD-7000
bash-2.05b# cat /proc/ide/hdd/model
CD-W54E

that was not 'is' but 'ls' command I suggested, in uppercase: LS
(sysvbanner was a joke naturally)

So now you have to add in your /etc/fstab something like :
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom2 iso9660 noauto,user,ro 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom3 iso9660 noauto,user,ro 0 0

make the mount point directories :
mkdir /mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom3
(choose another names if you prefer, just make sure they match in /etc/fstab)

Thanks to all who helping me.So I can resolve this problem.

Hi I have a similar problem with my system as well. I have a CDROM (connected to hdc) and a DVDROM/CD-RW (connected to hdd). As this thread explains I have done the following

ls /proc/ide

drivers hda@ hdb@ hdc@ hdd@ ideo/ ide1/ piix

and the output of cat /proc/ide/hdc/model is
ASUS CD-S520/A

the output of cat /proc/ide/hdd/model is

HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4521B

dmesg | grep hdd or dmesg | grep DVD say the drive is there.

The link dvd in /dev points to /dev/hdc not /dev/hdd

I mounted a DATA CD in the DVD ROM but after that it wont let me unmount it umount /dev/hdd says device is busy

Tell me what to do

My previous post about this thread was http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=296618

atifraza82:
first make sure you're not currently in the mounted directory. try "cd /" then run umount /dev/hdd. depending on your fstab entry you may also need to issue umount as the same user who performed the initial mount. so if you mounted the drive as su or root use the same user to unmount it.

to get /dev/dvd to point to the dvd drive is simple, as root:
after that you may need to chmod /dev/dvd to give all users access but im not quite sure.

Thank you guys especially dockpunk i did what he told me only had to make a new link after deleting the old one every thig now works perfectly
