Subject: Scsi cdrom naming confusion; sr or scd?
Date: Sun, 5 Nov 2006 10:09:26 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061105100926.GA2883@pelagius.h-e-r-e-s-y.com> (raw)

Documentation/devices.txt says:

 "The prefix /dev/sr (instead of /dev/scd) has been deprecated"

but booting 2.6.18.2 from a scsi CD only works if I pass the kernel
parameter root=/dev/sr0 and fails with root=/dev/scd0

I guess the kernel ought to be taught about the scd* names aswell?
