G'day,
I'm getting the error message "mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block
device" when I try to mount the CD.
This is after installing RH7.2 on an old Pentium I/166 (to modify an
old 7.2-based application); the box has no floppy drive. I raise that
because the /dev/cdrom symlink points to /dev/hdb (not hdc as I
believe is normal) and the log shows the following:
localhost kernel: ide-floppy driver 0.97
localhost insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/kernel drivers/ide/ide-cd.o:
insmod ide-cd failed
localhost kernel: hdb: driver not present
dmesg shows multiple repeats of:
ide-floppy driver 0.97
hdb: driver not present
The fstab line shows:
/dev/cdrom/ /mnt/cdrom/ iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
Should the /dev/cdrom symlink be pointing to /dev/hdc rather than
dev/hdb? If so, how do I change it - I haven't done that yet?

Some time I got the same error message,
depmod -ae
fixed it.
