[CLUE-Tech] /dev/cdrom gone....?

[Match Grun]

Gordon,

Have you disabled kudzu in your startup script? I found that kudzu only
works if the hardware configuration changes! I could never get kudzu
to work if you choose do keep the configuration. Perform the following:

	Shutdown your computer.
	If the CD-ROM drive is connected: Disconnect IDE cable.
	Startup computer.
	Let kudzu find that the device is/is not there.
	Accept configuration.
	Shutdown your computer.
	Connect IDE cable.
	Startup computer.
	Let kudzu find the CDROM. It will do all it's magic for you.

This also works with network cards and other hardware. I have found that
kudzu builds all the correct entries under /dev and /mnt for CD-ROM
drives if you perform these steps.
