Looks like its not finding a driver:

root@rrfish72:~# dmesg |grep CD
hdc: Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer cd16f, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdd: HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8160B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
Sony CDU-535: probing base address 340
Did not find a Sony CDU-535 drive

root@rrfish72:~#

Did all and still get:

root@rrfish72:~# ll /dev/cdrom /dev/dvd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root cdrom 9 Jan 10 13:10 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Jan 10 12:28 /dev/dvd -> /dev/scd1

Which is the same as before. I used root@rrfish72:~# ln -sf /dev/cdrom /dev/hdc. I never had to do anything but symlink the drives to get them work before. I found module with modconf and tried to install it but the installation failed. sonycd535 - Sony CDU535 CD-ROM support. The drive is not a sony and never showed up as a sony anything, what the hell happened? I am doing this as root.
