Some of the CD-Writing-HOWTO procedures -- or my error -- removed the driver for my cd-writer.
It's at /dev/hdb. With this in fstab: /dev/hdb /cdrom auto defaults,noauto,ro 0 0 All was fine until I tried to configure to burn cd's; the HOWTO suggested and I did test `whoami` = 'root' || echo "You must be root to execute the commands." cd /dev/ umask -S u=rwx,g=rwx,o-rwx ./MAKEDEV loop || for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do mknod loop$i c 7 $i; done ./MAKEDEV sg || for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7; do mknod sg$i c 21 $i; done for i in ide-scsi scsi_mod sg sr_mod loop do modprobe $i || grep loop /proc/modules || echo "Module $i missing." done cdrecord -scanbus But at next "mount /cdrom" the error is "medium not found" unless a cd is in the drive. How can I restore the cdrom driver?
