[Sheflug] strange problem with CDROM...

[Guennadi Liakhovetski <nospam [at] ragingbull.com>]

Hi

I've got a pretty new machine here (P-II ~750MHz), I recently compiled a
2.4.2 kernel for it, it's working fine, but... I just noticed - I can't
mount cds!... cdrom is detected at start-up, /dev/hdb looks fine, as
suggested i CDROM-HOWTO I checked dd if=/dev/hdb of=/dev/null bs=2048 it
returned immediately with 0+0 blocks in/out... (yes, there's a cd in the
drive). It worked before with 2.2.14... (SuSE-6.4) And - what's the most
weird - as cdrom module gets loaded - at the same time lp parport and
parport_pc do!... WHY???... I checked - nothing like parallel ide was
compiled... Is anything wrong somewhere with /dev stuff? Can't see any
problems there... Or modules.config?... Ideas?

Thanks
Guennadi
