No cdrom device in dev, system is using hda

[pcssbb]

My system is all SCSI with the exception of an IDE CDROM drive. For some reason when the system installed it did not create a cdrom device in /dev. The line in fstab is: /dev/hda /media/cdrom auto ........ Anyway I can mount data CD's but if I try to mount an audio CD the system chews on it for a long while before finally coming back with something similar to this: "unable to mount volume, bad superblock" I have tried to use MAKEDEV to create the device file "cdrom" with no success. My question is how do I create a cdrom device file in /dev or what is the correct MAKEDEV syntax to do this? Many thanks in advcance to anyone that can help me with this.

Edit: I changed fstab to read /dev/hda /media/cdrom iso9660 ro 0 0 Now I see see the titles on an audio CD with the audio CDROM browser in konqueror but ksCD will still not play a CD. It is looking for /dev/cdrom /mount/cdrom? How can I change the mount point ksCD is looking for?

Edit: I found it. There is an option if you open ksCD to configure ksCD.

You do not mount audio CD's (normally) in order to play them, you just play them. Try opening xmms (Audio Player) and choose Play Dircetory (Shift+L) select the location of the audio CD (/media/cdrom) and play the CD.

Your /etc/fstab entry for the CD device should read something like;

/dev/hda /media/cdrom is09660,udf noauto,user,ro 0 0

If you want to mount an audio CD then you need to rebuild the kernel with CDfs support added;

Basically download the cdfs-2.6.3a.tar.bz2 extract and merge the cdfs directory into the source kernel tree ..../linux-<version_number>/fs directory and run the patch.cdfs as instructed in the INSTALL file for CDfs. Change the /etc/fstab entry from 'is09660,udf' to 'auto' and add cdfs to /etc/filesystems just above the udf entry.
