Being that you're using udev, the 'correct' solution would be to create a udev rule to create an appropriate entry for your cd/dvdrom drives. I, however, got lazy and instead just made symlinks from /dev/scd0 to /dev/dvdrom. :) But if you're going to be 'fixing' it anyway, you might as well do it the 'right' way and add appropriate rules to your udev.conf. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
