Re: How do I hotswap media bay devices?
Thanks Michael,
You are right that the CDROM seems to be recognized by the kernel
according to the logs, but I can't mount any CDs because there doesn't
seem to be a /dev/hdc.
How do I get one of those without rebooting?
Thanks,
Rob

I notice that if I boot with a CDrom in the media bay I can use it, but
if I don't, I can't. Is there a way to get linux to recognize it short
of rebooting?
Check the system log (/var/log/kern.log or dmesg) - the CDROM should be
recognized by the kernel simply by inserting it.
