More specifically, this is a devfs problem. As root, remove the files in /lib/dev-state (but leave the directory). After rebooting, /dev/cdrom should be correct. One consequece of this however, is that if you have networking setup for VMware (vmnet* devices), you'll have to run vmware-config.pl again. This fixed it for me. Also, I'm not real sure how permenent of a solution this is, as I haven't been using devfs since because of the security advisory. -- Paul Cox <paul at coxcentral dot com> Kernel: 2.4.8-30.1mdk - Uptime: 20 hours 14 minutes.
