I solve the We don't use automount, we use supermount. And, no, we also use devfs as of 8.1, and with devfs creation and deletion of file entries in /dev doesn't work "by hand" but with devfsd. The wrong symlink would probably be in /lib/dev-state, you may modify it here. /dev would reflect the changes only after reboot (or there is something to do to avoid a reboot but I don't know it, maybe a "killall devfsd" and then re-run devfsd). > problem by simply symlinking /dev/cdroms to /cdroms > > - my USR/3Com 56k Voice INT v5.20.1 modems were mis-identified as > USR Faxmodem 5610, and thus would only refer me to the winmodem page. > There are no non-winmodem USRs in the options list in the control > panel's hardware config section, but the model 83329800 are /not/ > winmodems (they are pretty good modems for Linux, supported by all > the voicemail and fax software).
