What version of udev are you using? There is nothing that I know of that should remove the /dev/cdrom symlink. The symlink should be created when the system boots. Is this perhaps a usb cdrom? Do you have /dev/sr0? -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
