This type of issue can also be applied to laptops with
removeable bays. I had a similar issue when I removed
my floppy and put in a cdrw. I had to change the
floppy to a standard manual mount configuration and
take it off of supermount for proper functioning.
However, to get the cdrw to work I had to append
hdc=ide-scsi to lilo. This will cause a problem though
if I remove the cdrw and replace it with a 2nd hard
drive...

Is this a job for kudzu? I think kudzu shows up way
later in the chain of events to help though.... but it
would be nice to have a general check for devices with
these changes being made automagically, esp  for
newbies.
