[1.] One line summary of the problem:
bad device file for cdrom while using devfs and ide-scsi
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
I use Kernle-2.4.20 with devfs and ide-scsi.
"devfs" is mounted at boot.
I wonder that the symbolic-link to actual device file of cdrom is not
correct, which is placed in /dev as
"cdrom0 -> ../scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd"
It should be placed in subdirectory /dev/cdroms, or it should be
linked to "scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd", I think.
Without ide-scsi, there is /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 which is correctry
linked to actual device file.
I was looking around the kernel source codes, but I cannot find
where it was.
[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
kernel
file system
dev fs
ide scsi
device file
cdrom
[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):

Are you sure that sr_mod is loaded? After installing ide-scsi the cdrom drive
is a scsi cdrom so you must load the scsi cdrom driver (module sr_mod). If it
is not in the `lsmod` output you should try "modprobe sr_mod".

The problem is only mis-linked device file.
# My cdrom can be accessed with /dev/sr0, which is
# SCSI CD-ROM driver. For previous compatibility,
# I make a symbolic link /dev/sr0 to /dev/cdrom,
# and they works fine.
Device files under devfs are dynamically generated by kernel, right?
For some representative devices, I think, the symbolic links are
also made for user's convenience. "cdrom0" and "sr0" are such
links, I think. On my environment, "sr0" has proper link to
actual one, but "cdrom0" do not.
The kernel might generate these links, right?
So I wonder there are some bugs.
Considering the behavior when I boot without ide-scsi, I think
proper place, where "cdrom0" is placed, is /dev/cdroms/cdrom0.
If so, the link "cdrom0 -> ../scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd"
become ok.
Sorry for bad explanation in English.
