Re: [CentOS] Issue with dvd/cdrom drive

[root@darkness ~]# ls -al /dev/sr* ls: cannot access /dev/sr*: No such file or directory [root@darkness ~]# ls /dev/s* /dev/sda /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sg0 /dev/stderr /dev/sda1 /dev/sda4 /dev/sdb2 /dev/sg1 /dev/stdin /dev/sda2 /dev/sdb /dev/sdb3 /dev/snapshot /dev/stdout [root@darkness ~]# hwinfo --cdrom [root@darkness ~]#

Presumably it is a SATA CD/DVD - if so you need to go through the output of dmesg to see if it is detected on one of the SATA lines - possibly grepping for 'ata' should show something. If it's not even seeing it on a SATA line, then there is something strange with the hardware or bios configuration.
