Looks like you are still using the deprecated disk drivers, and you'd
probably be better off getting rid of those drivers completely and using
the newer replacements.
e.g. in 'make menuconfig' select the Device Drivers item and look at line 8:
< > ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support (DEPRECATED) --->
Notice I have that option un-selected, and I'd suggest you try the same.
Now look two lines below that:
<*> Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers --->
I have an older machine, so my DVD is supported by the VIA PATA driver,
but your motherboard may use something else, of course.
The point is: my DVD is a regular old PATA drive, but because of the
newer device driver it now shows up this way:
$ls -l /dev/dvd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2010-08-17 04:46 /dev/dvd -> sr0
I didn't do anything to cause that. udev took care of it without my help,
and everything Just Worked.
Well, not quite true. I did change my /etc/fstab, but I'm now using disk
labels in fstab instead of device names. If you still use device names
you'll need to change /dev/hd* to /dev/sd* in fstab when using the new
disk drivers.
