[wellylug] cdrom /hdc

[Alastair Porter]

mknod is a little old these days.  Fiesty uses udev and various other
things to create devices as they are needed.
Take a look in the file
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules

For instance, I have a line that reads
ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:08.0-scsi-0:0:0:0",
SYMLINK+="cdrom", ENV{GENERATED}="1"

This means that udev will create a symlink /dev/cdrom when the device
with id "pci-0000:00:08.0-scsi-0:0:0:0" is found in the system.

I'm just guessing, but if the kernel changed the access drivers from ide
to scsi, I think you'll get a whole new set of rules pointing at
'cdrom2', etc.  I fixed this problem on my system a few months ago.
If you want, paste the contents of 70-persistent-cd.rules and we can
see where to go from there.
