/dev/cdrom (or in my case, /dev/cdrom, /dev/cdrw, and /dev/dvd) are just symlinks to the real device anyway. The real device is hd* (in my case, 'hdc', because the CD/DVD drive is the master on the second IDE channel, as my hard drive is hda because it's master on the first channel). So maybe try looking for the actual device, instead of a symlink (which has apparently been removed), and see if that gets you any further. HTH, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
