[ale] Compaq Presario 1240

[Jerry Z. Yu]

	RH72 actually automatically configure those symlinks as well as
fstab entries.  For reason I don't understand, an EIDE ATAPI internal
CDROM of mine was detected and configured as /dev/scd0. If I try to access
it as /dev/hdd (secondary slave) it will not work.

# to check what is detected by kernel during boot up.
	dmesg | egrep -i "hd|scd"
# to check symlinks of possible cdrom device entry, as stephen stated,

	ls -l /dev/cdrom*
	grep -i cdrom /etc/fstab

#Do you have /dev/cdrom symlinked to your real block device? (i.e /dev/hdb,
