GREAT!!! So that's the trick, have the cd recognized _before_ running kudzu...
almost obvious, now that you've told me :-)

I've tested it with

#ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            8 Mar  7 15:45 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/sr0
#kudzu
#ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            8 Mar  7 15:45 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hdc
#ln -sf /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom
#modprobe sr_mod 
#kudzu
#ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            8 Mar  7 15:46 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/sr0

... it works :-P

I'll look into that, my modules.conf is a bit outdated... coming from an
earlier setup of a looong time ago.

Well, thanks a lot... problem solved.
