my laptop internal dvd/cdrom has always shown up in dmesg as:
  hdc: UJDA740 DVD/CDRW, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
  hdc: ATAPI 24X DVD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, UDMA(33)

in /dev, cdrecorder was linked to hdc and /media/cdrecorder
had the good stuff when the CDROM was mounted.  for some
inexplicable reason, hdc has disappeared from /dev, and as
a consequence, i am unable to mount a disk in that drive
(as one might expect).

in the old days, i could fumble with MAKEDEV to rescue the
missing device, but MAKEDEV no longer exists.  i browsed
through yast2 and found nothing appropriate.  any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

i'm running suse10 on a panasonic cf-50.

tia,
dan
