Hi:

It looks to me from your dmesg output that your cdrom is on /dev/hdd.  This
means you have an IDE/ATAPI CDROM and not a SCSI one.  Since the /dev/scd0
device is for SCSI CDROM devices, having /dev/cdrom point to /dev/scd0 is
not going to help you.

I'd suggest removing then recreating your 'dev'cdrom0 link so that it
points to /dev/hdd and not /dev/scd0.  You can do this as follows:

rm /dev/cdrom0
ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom0

Hope this helps.

Geoff.
