/dev/cdrom was mapped to /dev/hdb on my fresh install of RedHat 6.0 instead of /dev/hdc as it really is. This is not a fatal flaw, just an annoying one, which I corrected manually. /dev/hdb is another IDE hard disk drive in my system. All drives (fixed and removeable) are running off the on-board IDE controller of my motherboard.
How are your jumpers set for these devices? ------- Email Received From "John Aldrich" <john> 05/24/99 23:24 -------
What brand and model of motherboard are you using? I have not seen this behavior and it seems your controller chipset is doing strange things. ------- Email Received From John Aldrich <john> 06/08/99 16:14 -------
This really sounds like a chipset bug. I'm resolving it as "WONTFIX", but if we get enough other reports to figure out what is going wrong we can change that.
