[SLUG] cdrom module

[Lucas King]

hello,

i installed Redhat 7.2 on a PC using CDs. i did not install an X server as the PC is to serve as a DNS and DHCP server only.

after the installation i found it necessary to install further files. however, my CD drive is no longer mountable.

typing /lsmod/ at the prompt shows no references to a CDROM module.

typing /insmod sr_mod/ one of the modules needed for the CDROM to work, brings up a list of error messages, approx 10, all starting with
/lib/modules/....../sr_mod.o unresolved symbol blah blah

i am at a total loss as to how to get my CD drive to work.

any ideas would be appreciated.

thanking you in advance.

Lucas
