Description Optyx 2000-10-29 19:06:49 UTC 
I have a machine with 28 scsi cdroms in it.
probing the scsi card finds /dev/scd0 through /dev/scd27
then linked to a /dev/cdrom<number>

but the following error occurs

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            4 Oct 26 21:25 /dev/cdrom -> scd0

instead of rolling over to /dev/scd10 it goes to /dev/scd10
which means the programmer who coded the autolinker probably put a "scd%c",
cdrom_number
which should be a "scd%d", cdrom_number

This was a kudzu bug, I believe. It *should* be fixed in
7.0.
