/dev/cdrom apparently isn't created correctly in your setup, reassigning. Run depmod post-install... a run of it during the installer didn't catch the different symbols. (also, upgrade to the errata kernel as installing it will make this be magically fixed as a side effect :) This is fixed in CVS Thankyou very much, depmod has fixed the problem and now the cdrom is usable. Thankyou. Two final questions; What is the errata kernel? -- also, upgrade to the errata kernel as installing it will make this be magically fixed as a side effect And what is CVS? Thank you. |
