CD-ROM works, DAT drive works, all my work fine. the move was perfect.

Well thanks first of all for the help so far.
char-major-4 problem gone.
ppp-compress problem sorted.(Thanks Stefan)
In fact i tried doing all the stuff i normally do
just to try and break it.And i did.!!!
Now i have very carefully gone over everything,and its
still broke.
No cdrom drive will work with 2.2.1
This works fine with 2.0.36,either built in or as a module.
by this i mean the actual drive or the filesystem.
In 2.2.1 this refuses to work,i`ve tried building the support
into the kernel,and tried as modules.
cat /proc/filesystems shows iso9660 when i build support in.
does not show it when i build as a module,this is right,yes ?.
But either way,when i do a mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom
or mount /cdrom (cdrom has an fstab entry as /hdb),i get filesystem
type not supported,or bad superblock,etc,etc.
I`ve pulled the 2.2.1 kernel apart many times now,and have tried many
permutations to get it work,with no joy.In fact i probably wouldn`t
have noticed had i not tried to install a source package via yast.
But as usual,there probably is a solution,but 2.2.x is to different in
the way it behaves from the 2.0.x series,for me to pick up on errors
quickly.I just browse the docs till i come across something that may
work.
This time i cannot !!.
Should in fact we be using glibc2.1 for this kernel to be fully
effective ?,because some options are taboo unless these libs are
installed.
Why doesn`t someone write a FAQ on the move to the new kernel using
SuSE,its a minefield.(like what happens to the all the old devs when
we finally move to 2.2.x permanently.)
Oh,by the way,if you are using the registered OSS drivers,you have to
symlink /usr/lib/terminfo to /usr/share/terminfo
otherwise the install fails.this only applies to glibc2 2.2.x
installs.
Can someone help,yet again !!.
