About a week ago I updated a Debian box, running a custom kernel 2.4.16, with a dist-upgrade in unstable (it's been running unstable for a long time, and this just brought it up to date).
On the next reboot (a few days later) things started breaking! In particular nfs, audio, and cdrom and cdrw access. I think I've tracked the problems to the appropriate kernel modules not being loaded? Why would a dist-upgrade cause this? I can add nfs, and nfsd to /etc/modules and NFS is working again. I can add i810_audio and audio is up agian. Also isofs, ide-cd, ide-probe-disk, and ide-disk get CDROM going again. I've failed so far to get the CD-RW working again: # mount /cdrw mount: /dev/scd0 is not a valid block device My questions: What could have changed to the modules stuff to cause these to no longer be loaded on boot? Any ideas on why my ide-scsi CD-RW set up would be failing. A scanbus does not find the ide-scsi CD-RW.
