I thought so until now having restarted the box -- I did put ide-generic into the autoload file before shutdown yesterday -- tried to play a DVD with gmplayer. Couldn't find the drive again. I just assumed it had "forgotten" that in preferences->misc the path to the drive had been changed from /dev/dvd to /dev/cdrom1. Nope, that was still correct. Then I did an ls -l under /dev and this appeared: <...> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 10 02:23 cdrom2 -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 10 02:23 cdrom3 -> hdd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 10 02:23 cdrw2 -> hdc <...> Compare this to the above. Something is incrementing the drive numbers! Does this have something to do with having modularized the driver?
