I've checked out some other stuff and it seems the ide-scsi module is loading at boot 
("insmod ide-scsi" reports that the module already exists).

the problem is that when I try to mount the drive I get:

[ross@localhost dev]$ mount /mnt/cdrom
mount: special device /dev/scd0 does not exist


and this is because the /dev/scd0 link is broken ie:

/dev/scd0 -> /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd

when it should point to:

/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target2/lun0/cd

As this is all automatically configured at boot can anyone help with suggestions of 
what could be going on.

thanks 
Ross
