Symlink Nightmare!! Help
 

Was trying to setup my cdrom hdc ide1 udma33 and cdrw hda ide0 udma66. I started creating symlinks with diff syntax combos trying to get cdrom and cdrw to mount. I mkdir for /mnt/hdc and /mnt/hda. Think I even tried mkdir /hda and mkdir hdc. No matter what I did I cld not mount even cdrom. Now where are all those links I created stored and the mkdir -p ? How do I cleanup this mess? dmesg displays the devices and their related stats? Memory Addr IRQ BTW I am using a Soyo6 BA+IV mobo with HPT366 onboard Controller chipset + BX Intel chipset
dmesg displays:
1] HPT366: not 100% native mode:will probe irqs later.
2] PllX4:not 100% native mode:will probe irqs later
3] Intel PCIC probe: not found
4] ds: no socket drivers loaded!
5] raid0 personality registerd
6] scsi 0 hosts
7]scsi detedted total
(this is not in the order they appear in) Any help is appreciated!
Thanks :cry: :study: :cry:

one thing you can do is use locate to find them, you can also use history to see the commands you typed to create them.

use ls -l to see if the file is a symlink.



You should not need symlinks to use a cdrom.

All you need is a directory to mount it in.

Normally there is a /dev/hd? that is the cdrom, and you can simply use it. if you want a symlink to it thats ok, but it is not really necessary.
