I don't know what happened to it the first time, but I found when I
installed RH 4.1 it didn't create the link to /dev/cdrom from th actual
device.
I have a scsi cd and found it at /dev/scd0, created a link to
/dev/cdrom and life is good. ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
Look in dmesg for the actual device name.
I just posted this the other day, since it cost me an hour to find it...
