CD Drive not detected

Hello there,

I've installed Arch on my Laptop from CD but as it happens, somehow that same CD drive seemingly disappeared, because there is no /dev/cdrom... Physically, it's still there, but Arch does not recognize it.

Can someone help me and tell me what to do to get that drive back?

thx

With the new kernel it should be found under /dev/sr0

Dont know exactly why...

Re: CD Drive not detected

you gonna laugh, after a complete reinstall I suddenly have /dev/cdrom, /dev/cdrw and a /dev/dvd additionally to the /dev/sr0... o.O
