after changing the cdrm links to scsi links i can no longer access my cdrom drives. the fstab file reads:
/dev/hda4 /ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom1 /cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide
/dev/scd1 /dev/cdrom2 /cd iso9660
user,noauto,unhide
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/mnt/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 supermount fs=iso9660, /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom1 0 0
/mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount
fs=iso9660, /dev/scd1 /dev/cdrom2 0 0
do i need to change this file?

Here's my cdrom entry's in fstab, I'm running Mandrake 7.2 (they were the same in 7.1) with supermount and scsi emulation;

/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/scd0 0 0
/mnt/cdrom2 /mnt/cdrom2 supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/scd1 0 0

If your using supermount you don't need the other cdrom entry's that you have. Note the end of the entry after fs=iso9660. Exactly how did you change the links. Did you make symlinks in /dev or just change your fstab. If you only changed your fstab this should do it. After you change fstab you need to reboot to have the changes reconized. There is probably a way to do it without a reboot but I don't know it.
