Hello,
I am facing a strange problem with my IDE ATAPI CD-ROM drive. When i
try to mount the cdrom in linux, i get the message:
Kernel does not recognize /dev/cdrom as a block device (maybe insmod
driver!)
when i did a ls -l /dev/cdrom i get lrwxrwxrwx. The CDROM is not
shown as a block device (as fd0 is).
The strange thing is I installed RH 6.1 using the same CD-ROM drive
and even now it is working just fine under windows and also when i
change the bootsequence to boot from the cd and put a bootable cd, the
system boots from the cd.
What could be wrong. Please help urgently. How do i change
/dev/cdrom to a block device. Is it require to delete /dev/cdrom and
create new entry (how to create a block device file)
Please help
