[wellylug] hdc / dvd drive gone

[Dr Edouard Charlaron]

Hi all
I have a bit of a worry here.
After a kernel upgrade my DVD drive is gone.
No hdc in /dev 
I don't even get a disk-path etc... ref to my dvd drive.
It's not the first time it happens.

Not sure where to go from there. Create a device block myself with mknod and add hdc=cdrom in the 
grub menu? Last time a new update just made it to come back to life.

I could probably update to a newer version (still ubuntu feisty), but I would have to go back to the pain of resintalling googlearth and skype and other flash stuff, driver for the broadcom 4311 etc... and it would be a SUSE distro anyway.
So a quick fix would be a good idea.

Any advice ? Thanks a lot
E
