I was successfully install RH 7.2 using boot disk + CDROM on that DVD Drive. When i try to mount CDROM on that DVD drive , there are error telling that "invalid block devide". After investigating, It seem like linux kernel assumed it as "ide-floppy" (the ide-floppy 0.9.x error msg appear during dmesg) The RH 7.2 linux kernel compiled with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY=Y. when i recompiled as '=m', the kernel treat it as DVDROM drive.

Hmmm one quick question: does it help if you type "depmod -ae" as root ?
erk, Sorry. Its Working... it's a dupe? [root@localhost RedHat]# cat /proc/ide/drivers ide-cdrom version 4.59 ide-floppy version 0.97 ide-disk version 1.10 but why when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY=m , i didnot require to depmod -ae ? (or i did it automaticcaly during make modeul_install?)
