Someone please advise me on how to proceed to get this
drive to work for me the way I would like.
Well, FC2 probably predates udev, but I know when I replaced
a DVD drive I found a rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules file
which was apparently generated on first boot. I had to
modify the file to remove the pointers to the old drive and
make the new drive show up as the 1st device.
Wouldn't surprise me if there is something similar stashed
under /etc somewhere in FC2.
Your suggestion makes sense, except that the Memorex drive
is not the original, either. I don't have the original drive
here for test; it's at a friend's house. I installed both
the Sony and the Memorex on the same cable etc.; physically
the installations are identical.
After a manual mount, I have...
/dev/hdc on /mnt/cdrom type iso9660 (ro,nosuid,nodev,user=jmccarty)
My /etc/fstab entry looks like this:
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
[spaces removed for clarity of reading]
I wonder if this is different? It shows /dev/hdc mounted, not
/dev/cdrom.
$ ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Aug 21 18:08 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc
Maybe I should look at the /dev/cdrom device when it's working.
I don't run udev...
$ man udev
No manual entry for udev
I had considered using udev, but after I read the documentation
by the author carefully, I decided that the solution he proposed
was worse than the problems I experienced, so I haven't pursued
it further.
Anyway, thanks for the reply!
Mike
