I'm not sure that is a bug. As I posted earlier, this was changed a |
| 30 |
good while back. There was a reason for it but I can't recall what it |
| 31 |
was. The new devices for CD/DVDs is /dev/sr*. I don't have, and have |
| 32 |
not had, /dev/cdrom or dvd on this rig for a good while and it works. I |
| 33 |
think this happened about the same time as the hard drive devices were |
| 34 |
changed from hd* to sd* even for old IDE drives. Since it was changed |
| 35 |
on purpose, I don't believe this is a bug. |
