I am using Fedora Core 4. But one common problem I find in both Core 3 & Core 4 is that while hardwarebrowser list my cdrom drive as /dev/hdc the cdplayer show it the device as /dev/cdrom and would not accept any change. Iam new to linux. Can you help?Thank you. B.K.Bhattacharya

Good day Check you /etc/fstab and if you do an "ls -l /dev/cdrom" it will show a link to the /dev/hd? device. You will have to remove the link if it's not correct and create a new one. Regards Karel

Is it a cdburner or just a cdplayer? I had the same problem on my FC3 but I fixed it mounting it as the guy above says. You may also read the NeroLinux documentary and you will find some nice advices to fix this. Check for /media/cd* :)
Usually, Fedora will asign a symbolic link to your actual device (/dev/hdc, in your case) named /dev/cdrom, regardless of the type of optical drive you have, if you have a DVD burner for instance (like in my case) you may have actually three links pointing to /dev/hdc: /dev/cdrom, /dev/dvd and /dev/cdwriter, all pointing to the same device. That usually is enough. Now if you are using GNOME and you are not getting any sound off your CD-Rom, even when it is reading, you may have a problem with the analogue connection between the drive and the sound card. Unlike KCD or other media players, GNOME's CD player uses the analogue connection between the drive and the sound card, rather than Dgital Sound extration method (like KCD or Windows Media Player, for that matter). I also use GNOME as my primary Desktop environment (don't like much KDE), but usually find myself using KCD for CD playback (as well as AmaroK for media player [.mp3, .ogg, .wma, etc]). You can use both GNOME and KDE applications in either.
/dev/cdrom is probably just a symlink ("shortcut", but low-level) to /dev/hdc. Do you have more than one optical device in your system?
