I installed an "optical drive" in this F-18/64 XFCE computer and it is

disk works as expected in a similar F-18 computer.
When I put the disk in the drive the light flickers for a while and
then stops, no icon appears, and it is reluctant to eject.
[bobg@box10 ~]$ ll /dev/sg1

I don't know how to troubleshoot this so any help is appreciated.

At least part of the problem is "/dev/cdrom -> sr0" is not being
created. I still don't understand all of this but I see the following on
this computer:
[root@box10 bobg]# udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/sr0
P: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.0/ata2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/block/sr0

While on another computer set up identically but in which the optical
drive was present when Fedora-18 was installed:
[bobg@Box7 ~]$ udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/sr0

It seems obvious that this is related to my problem. There must be a
right way to add an DVD/CD drive after the initial operating system
installation?
Certainly I should not have to re-install Fedora 18 to get the optical
drive to work?
