hi,

i've just upgraded from linux-2.4.9 and devfsd-1.3.10
to linux-2.4.18 and devfsd-1.3.25 and now i can't mount
cds.

my cdburner is an atapi one so i have the kernel parameter
"hdd=ide-scsi" when booting and the following in /etc/modules.conf
(as specified in the CD-Writing-HOWTO):

 options ide-cd ignore-hdd
 alias scd0 sr_mod
 pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi
 pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi
 pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd

the howto also says to:

 cd /dev && rm cdrom && ln -s scd0 cdrom

but i've been using /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 instead
of /dev/cdrom.

the problem is that there is no /dev/scd0 to link to.
if i try linking to /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/generic
and then try to mount a cd, it tells me that it's not a block
device.

does anyone know what i need to do to get it working?

/etc/modules.devfsd makes no mention of ide-scsi.
could this have something to do with it?

do i need to make changes to the cdrom or scsi cdrom
sections of /dev/modules.devfsd to support an atapi
cdburner that is pretending to be a scsi cdburner?
if so, what changes?

thanks,
raf
