Hi Folks,
I installed Debian 3.0 on my PC ages ago and have been happily using it ever since. However, a few minutes ago, I upgraded my CD drive from a standard CD drive to a CDRW drive and I can now no longer access any CDs. If I try to mount a CD then I get an error message saying it is not a valid block device:
giraffe:~# mount /dev/hdd /mnt2 mount: /dev/hdd is not a valid block device
If however I scan through the output of dmesg I can see it listed:
hdd: ATAPI CD-RW 16/12/40X, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
What do I need to tweak in order to be able to access CDs using this new CD drive?
Thanks, Ian.
