I have been running a version of woody from Feb 28, 2002 on a 686 machine using the 2.2.19 kernel that was installed from a potato cdrom set and then the software was updated from another cdrom set to woody. Everything was working fine for many days, but xcdroast complained about cdrecord not working since it needed a 2.4 kernel. So finally tonight I did an apt-get install kernel-2.4.17-686 and that went fine and is what I'm using now. HOWEVER, when I try to access the cdrom drive I get the following in dmesg:
