I just noticed the problem, so I'm not sure when it started (I don't use |
| 35 |
the drive on it much). |

It turns out that we only need to load the ide_cd module at boot time |
| 38 |
and the dev will show up. It will show up whenever we load the module, |
| 39 |
but it was causing confusion by not being there after a reboot. |

Someday I need to read up on udev, hal, hot- and cold-plug and how they |
| 42 |
all interact with the system nowadays... |
