I upgraded my machine from ML8.1 to ML9.0. Overall, the upgrade went smoothly, however, the CDROM dropped out an I have been unsuccessful in getting it to register.Do you have harddrake starting at boot (chkconfig --list)? I am thinking that devfs is something that changed since 8.1. It might work to have harddrake start at boot, if you don't already. Maybe boot with the drive disconnected to let harddrake remove the configuration (you have to choose this) then boot with the drive connected. I don't know if you see the harddrake messages when "quiet" is in the append line. Do you have hdx=ide-scsi in grub/menu.lst or in the lilo append="" statement? Here is my burner fstab line, FWIW:
Harddrake sees the drive, a HP IDE CDROM burner, and lists it in the cdrom lists.
ide-scsi kernel module is loaded at boot up.
But xcdroast does not detect the burner nor does the "Removable media".
I figure that I will need to tweak the kernel module list, /etc/modules.conf, and adjust the /etc/fstab files.
I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on the necessary adjustments. It would be nice to be able to use the burner again.
