I have a compaq 7730mt laptop but I have a problem with the
swapable device bay. The laptop ships with interchangable CDRom
and Floppy drives. I installed Redhat 7.0 from the CDRom, but
can't mount or unmount the CDRom. It plays CD's fine, and I
have loaded RPM's from CDRoms with no trouble, if I physically
remove the CDRom it will not work again without a full
re-install.

Having already searched linux-laptop, let me start by saying they
have only a small amount of information to offer (indeed, a
redhat 7.0 distro knew more about my hardware than linux-laptop
could tell me...) so what I'm looking for is someone who
actually runs linux on the same model computer as mine, and who
has solved the swapable device driver dilema.
