I have a problem with the install of 7.1

I downloaded and burned the 2 disks.  I created the cdrom.img bootdisk on  a
floppy.

During boot up if I tried to use my scsi CD-Rom drive with the install CD, the
install failed with a warning that the CD rom could not be initialized.  Also
the scan of the SCSI controllers failed for the parallel port zip drive.

When I rebooted and put the install CD in my IDE CD-RW the install worked fine.
Rather than upgrade from 7.0 I did a full install (including reformatting my
drive).

CDrecord (scanbus) shows the two CD drives. XCDRoast finds them (it shows the
IDE drive under the scsi devices and the IDE devices.  I assume this is due to
scsi emulation.)  However when I click on the icons on the KDE desktop for CDrom
or CDrom2, I get KFM errors.

I tried ls and got the following:
ls -l /dev/cdrom2
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Jun 10 17:28 /dev/cdrom2 -> scd0
ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Jun 10 17:28 /dev/cdrom -> scd0

I think the install got confused by the two drives and did some bad linking.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
