hi!

i successfuly managed to screw up my /dev/cdrom, while trying to make my burner work.

Code:

zeky root # mount /mnt/cdrom/
mount: special device /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 does not exist

Code:

zeky root # ls -al /dev/cdroms/cdrom0
lr-xr-xr-x    1 root     root           35 Mar 11  2003 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 -> /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd

help, i can't mount my cdrom no more

cdrom is: IDE sony CD-RW on hdb
kernel: 2.4.19-gentoo-r10

ok so does the /dev/ide.... device actually exist? i'd guess that that's trying to access the ide driver for the drive but if it's a burner and you're trying to enable scsi emulation then you'll want to use the scd0 reference instead. i'm used to a flat /dev/ file layout, so i can't say where that shoudl actually be located on devfs though. /dev/scsi ?
