Re: insmod ide-cd fails right after installation of RH7.2




Thanks to cgadsl6(at-nospam)netvision.net.il.

/dev/cdrom was OK
cdrom.o was there (yes, I had checked it before my OP)
modules.dep listed the dependency correctly
modprobe -a ide-cd had not worked (again, I had checked it).

The only way to fix the problem was to manually do

insmod cdrom
insmod ide-cd

as suggested by cgadsl6.

This allowed me to mount the updates CD, so I upgraded to 2.4.9-7,
and the problem went away.

It seems to me that the problem is a weird one, possibly related to
the obsolete hardware, since nobody ever reported it as a bug (AFAIK).
