That's a triple negative! Sorry I can't speak Swedish, is it:

a. cdroms now work

or

b. cdroms don't work


lol!

If "b." then try editing fstab so that /dev/hdc is /dev/sr0 and see what happens.

try:

root@box# ln -sf /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom

that might also remove one of your icons

its not a bug it's just the sr_mod fannying about. I don't like it personally. There is a pattern to all of this, maybe you just have to wait 15s for it to dismount (depending on the way it is configured) maybe something else. Some other distros use it too, you can disable it but you'll have to change a few things to do it. Your best bet is to get used to it or try another distribution :~]

edit: the new (2.6.*) kernel doesn't need scsi emulation so your problems are officially fixed!

Cheers. Everyone starts off a bit jumpy, but you'll soon forget MS Windows!
