Reinstalled RH7.2. Taking note of some of your replies I get the following.
ls -l /dev/cdrom* this gives  /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0  
                         and        /dev/cdrom1 -> /dev/scd1
fstab lists /dev/cdrom & cdrom1 as /mnt/cdrom & cdrom1. /dev/cdrom is a 
standard ide cdrom and yet fstab lists it as scd0 and not hdb as I would have 
expected. cdrom1 is the writer. (dmesg does mention that scsi host adaptor 
being used for both drives). If I change fstab to list these  as /dev/hdb & 
hdc, on reboot the next day, these fstab entruies have been illiminated & the 
original entries  put back in. I can't find a mount (eg mount /dev/hdb, mount 
/dev/scd0, mount mnt/cdrom) that works.  All I get is /dev/cdrom or 
/dev/cdrom1 is a unknown device. However I now have Xcdroast finds these 2 
cdrom drives, it  will copy/write cd's with no problem.  Unfortunately 
Xcdroast lists the drives as what they are eg. Toshiba 40X cdrom and not by 
their device name, so I can't gain a clue from there. I've tried some links 
but these reply back that the device is already linked to cdrom drives.
Got lost on the devfs plot sorry.
