I just installed knoppix 3.8 (debian style), and while my CD ROM was detected and working perfectly in the live version, the hdd version fails to detect it.

Now I have read the many posts on this topic, but all of the solutions say to link to /dev/sr0 or similar (which isnt a valid device on my system).

When I look at dmesg, I get:

Code:
hdc: SONY DVD RW DRU-710A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
and
Code:
ide-cd: passing drive hdc to ide-scsi emulation.
Nothing else in dmesg seems relevent.

I tried symlinking to /dev/hdc, but even that wont work.

This is using only the 2.6 kernel (3.8 doesnt install anything else)

My relevent lilo.conf portion is:
Code:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11
	label="Linux(2.6)-1"
	initrd=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.11
	append="ramdisk_size=100000 lang=en apm=power-off hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi nomce "
	read-only

Any assistance on this would be appreciated.
