I installed an "optical drive" in this F-18/64 XFCE computer and it is apparently recognized by several applications however I don't see an icon come up on the desktop when I put a cdrom in the drive. The same 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
crw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 21, 1 Mar 16  2013 /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?
