Hi, I'm having an issue with my Thinkpad P70 laptop/workstation. This system
is
a dual boot, windows 10 pro and centos 7. I have not needed to use the cdrom until
now,
however the system does not see it in /dev. I know the cdrom works as I
can
use it in windows 10 and when initially installing centos 7, I installed from dvd media. I'm not sure what to check.
By default CDROM drives are usually /dev/sr*
# hwinfo --block --short
CD drives are not block devices. Why not use 'hwinfo --cdrom'?
# hwinfo --cdrom --short cdrom: /dev/sr0 TSSTcorp DVD+-RW TS-H653H
Hi Pete, I tried --cdrom, just forgot to include in original post; While searching google, I saw a post where --block --short included cdrom output.
