Hmm ... it appears that rc.sysinit alreasy loads ide-cd before ide-scsi
so something is fishy.
Could people who have problems with CD-ROM access check if they have
this in rc.sysinit:
# If they asked for ide-scsi, load it
# This must come before hdparm call because if hdd=ide-scsi
# /dev/hdd is inaccessible until ide-scsi is loaded
if grep -q "ide-scsi" /proc/cmdline ; then
modprobe ide-cd >/dev/null 2>&1
modprobe ide-scsi >/dev/null 2>&1
fi
if yes, there must be something different, but I hardly can imagine what
(and I cannot at the moment download new kernel :(
