why dvdrom isn't recognized?
I've installed Mandrake 10.1community. The machine is a Dell Optiplex GX260 with a Samsung CDRW/DVD combo. I have the mdl# at home not here at work. Anyway the cd side works ok...but the dvd isn't seen at all. That is no response atall when any kind of dvd media is in the drive. In the /mnt dir there's /mnt/CDROM. In the /fstab there's a string with /mnt/cdrom but no mention of dvd or scsi (there again I'm at work and don't remember syntax).
I've read where DVDrom drives needs to be disguised as a SCSI drive. But I havn't seen any thing pertaining to the combo drives as to syntax. I don't want to just guess what to do.
The exact syntax would be very helpful.
Thanx in advance
