What does the information in /proc/ide/ say? You should have you're dvd drive in there. try running the following: ls -al /dev/cdrom ln -s /dev/where_cdrom_link_points_to /dev/dvd Then running ogle or xine,totem, videolan or whatever you use to play dvd's with from the connsole and see the output, I know xine moans that it cannot find /dev/dvd if the links not there.
