First off, I'll tell you what made all this come about. I decided to try
out debian. I've had alot of problems getting back to a functional system,
some of what I still have to get working sound and sorting out this cdrom
weirdness.
Ok, so I recompile my kernel about 1234234623 times until I SEEM to be
able to access my cdroms with scsi-emu (they are hdc and hdd without
scsi-emu). Previously with redhat 6.2 and mandrake 7 (both with 2.2.14
kernel) I was able to access the cdroms as /dev/scd0 and /dev/scd1 after i
recompiled the kernel. Now, it says they arn't block devices and I have to
use /dev/sr* BUT /dev/sr[0-7] goes to my first cdrom and /dev/sr[8-15]
goes to the second one, is it just me or is that very strange? dmesg shows
that during booting the kernel conferms that 0-7 is my cd-r and 8-15 is my
cdrom. So I guess my question is, one: why can't i still use /dev/scd0 and
/dev/scd1? And two: why is it /dev/sr[0-7] and /dev/sr[8-15] instead of
/dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1?
