What creates /dev/hd*
$ dmesg | grep hda
hda: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4163B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
$ ls /dev/hd*
ls: cannot access /dev/hd*: No such file or directory

Maybe your hard drive is on /dev/sda

The hard drives are /dev/sd because they are sata.
The IDE cdrom is missing from /dev |

bjlockie,
If you have set up your DVD under SCSI and libata, it will be /dev/sr0
udev creates device nodes in response to the kernel discovering a device.

grr, not there.
It must be somewhere since dmesg said it was found.

bjlockie,
dmesg can detect that your CDROM is present but the kernel can still lack the code to drive it properly.
This happens when you have the low level chipset driver but not the high level SCSI or IDE CDROM driver.
