I'm posting this here since there may be something about what X is doing
that is causing the problem.
Essentially, I get an error in syslog: ide_cdrom_setup failed to register
device with cdrom driver, followed by an oops. What is interesting is that
this only occurs if I first log into X as anything but root. If I log into
X as root first, then the drivers load normally. I'm assuming X does
something to cause the cdrom drivers to load. Why this only occurs when an
unprivileged user logs in first, I don't know.
I'm using RedHat 7.2 (kernel 2.4.9, X 4.1.0), with a standard IDE cdrom
(Creative 52X). The hard drive is scsi.
If anyone is interested in following up, please reply directly to me. I am
not currently subscribed.
