/dev/cdrom mount error

/dev/cdrom mount error

[Jim Potter]

I've just built & installed Ben's latest kernel (2.4.20-pre5-ben0) on a
dual 1ghz machine, and I've apparently somehow broken the /dev/cdrom.
Mounting this now always gets an error msg ("/dev/cdrom is not a valid
block device").  Is the configuration different recently?
