My DVD drive has suddenly stopped working and I know its not a problem with the device it self, as i can boot from it and it's detected by the LiveCD.

The device had disappeared and I've recreated it with:

Code:

/bin/mknod --mode=666 /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd b 22 0


The device now looks like this:

Code:

brw-------  1 smces cdrom 22, 0 Jun 10 13:57 /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd


Yet when i try to mount, i get:

Code:

mount: /dev/cdroms/cdrom1 is not a valid block device


I think it may have something to do with the Time-Stamp field, as my CD-RW has '1970' in its place. Also on the LiveCD the device I've recreated also has '1970' in the Time-Stamp field...

I hope that clear enough :p, Anyone have any ideas?? Thanks ;)

Problem Solved, Thanks to a guy at #bash. I had to remove 'hdc=ide-scsi' in my Kernel Params... Ahh Now i can watch DVDs again :D
