Comment 1 Ron Hauptfleisch 2003-01-17 02:24:07 UTC
I lowered severity to normal.  I restored the symbolic links with:
      ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom
      ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom1
and rebooted.  The devices are now working normally

I boot with ide-scsi.  Thefollowing section is from my /boot/grub/grub.conf:
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-19.8.0)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-19.8.0 ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi hdc=ide-scsi
        initrd /initrd-2.4.18-19.8.0.img

Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. If you are still
running Red Hat Linux, you are strongly advised to upgrade to a
current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable.
