DVD-ROM drive recognized as CD-ROM drive

frenzy

My old CD-ROM drive worn out, so I replaced it with a DVD-ROM drive. In my linux, I can access it via /dev/cdrom, but seems it is recognized as CDROM drive.

What do I need to do to make the system aware it is a DVD-ROM drive? Need to recreate /dev/dvd device? what major and minor to use? etc?

Thanks.

Particulars:
MSI DVD-ROM 16x
Slackware 9.1+

系统对待cd-rom和dvd-rom没有什么区别，你可以做一个symbolic link, 例如：
ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd
并且在fstab里面设置dvd的内容,与cd-rom相同即可。

假如是combo：
