I have been using devfs since mandrake started incorporating it.
You were lucking, you had extra lines in fstab which when deleted corrected your
problem.
My fstab is the same as for the other kernels I have installed.
In checking mount point for the 2418-12 kernel I find that the dvd which should be
/dev/hde is listed as /dev/sd0
and my cdrw which should be /dev/sd0 is listed as /dev/sd1, using eroaster I see that
it also detects the dvd as sd0 and the cdrw as sd1.
I could edit /etc/fstab to reflect the the 'new' designations but am reluctant to do
so without knowing whether this is a permanent change
in dev and kernel or if it is just something flaky in he 2418-12 kernel.
Maybe Juan will be around Mon and can answer.
