ide cdrom detection problem

Tags:

I just installed Debian Etch newest image to brand new hardware amd 64. fstab is telling me it detects the cdrom with path /dev/hda. Problem is when you go into /dev there is no file hda ? dvd/cdrom is attached to ide master and hdd is attached to sata. Anyone come across this and have a solution or something for me to try is much appreciated.

thanks

pete

hello, this is odd. I have a couple questions. did you use the cd rom to install from? can you read anything from the cd rom in debian (im guessing you cant but I want to be sure)

Yep you hit it right on the money i used the dvd/cdrom to install debian after the install and boot up debian dvd/cdrom is not workable anymore. After playing with it for awhile i came up to post i had posted the first time missing file hda in /dev folder but shows in fstab.

Thanks
