Hi,

I have a problem, I just lost my CD devices, and I don't know how and why.
I didn't do anything wrong I just lost them. I can't find them anymore in the /dev/cdrom folder!!!

On booting I shows no error about it and gos on as normal.

I don't have any idea, it would be nice if somebody could give me a hint or tell me how to scan my cd's or just kind of reinstall them!

thx hasenfreser

Did you recently add any CD burning software, or change any bootloader options, or install a new kernel ?

You might be able to see what happened in the kernel messages.
Code:
# dmesg | less

The point is, that I didn't really change anything, the devices are listed on boot, my cdroms just disapeared in the folder!
I have scsi emulation turned on an everything I need, that's what makes me so nervous

thx hasenfreser

What happens if you "modprobe ide-scsi" ?
Do your CDs re-appear ? (hint: look in dmesg again)

WOW 14 cdroms. Your computer must be really big. :P

You can change that to just 2 cdroms by turning off this option.
Code:
SCSI support  --->
[ ]   Probe all LUNs on each SCSI device

And while you are in there, turn on these options to get the cdroms to actually work.
Code:
SCSI support  --->
<*>   SCSI CD-ROM support
<*>   SCSI generic support


I would also suggest using a newer kernel that includes support for your nforce chipset (you will get better performance).

Thanks a lot for the hint to reduce my Devices to only 2 but I had turned on SCSI CD-ROM support
SCSI generic support

I just lost my cdrom's!!!
