Hi Mitch -

First its really better to start a new thread with a new post that isn't a 
reply to some other post.  Many mail readers (the ones that work properly 
[1]) will show what you hoped as your new thread as still being a reply to 
the post your replied to, which is confusing and can cause people to miss 
your post.  Plus you can then avoid complaints about "thread hijacking".

What I wanted to say was that for people moving to the 2.6 kernel, you can get 
the same error you mention about opening the cdrom device exclusively for 
another reason.  On the 2.4 kernel you may have hdc=ide-scsi on your kernel 
commandline in lilo or /boot/grub/grub.conf.  To work properly in 2.6 without 
this error and being unable to access your cdrom, you must change it to 
hdc=ide-cd.  So there is another reason for getting the same errors.

[1]  How does this work?  When your mail reader is told to make a reply to a 
post, it adds some extra headers to give the post a context.  Your post 
included the following in its headers section:

References: <4021D215.8080001@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
In-Reply-To: <4021D215.8080001@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

This tells any good mail reader to show your post as being a reply to the post 
named in the headers.
