Sharing Kernels Revisited

[Matthew Carpenter]

A few days ago we talked about sharing a kernel between installs (eg. SuSE
and COL installed on same system, both running the 2.4.18 kernel included
in SuSE).

Now I do have one question...  I was running COLS3.1 with the 2.4.2
kernel, accessing my IDE DVD drive as /dev/sr0 (or /dev/sr1 - I forget). 
When I started using the SuSE 2.4.18 kernel and modules, I suddenly have
to access it using /dev/hdd.  Why?  I am still loading the ide-scsi module
just like I always have and it is still loading correctly...  I'm not sure
what the deal is.  Not a big issue at this point, but I was curious if
anyone had any insight on this one.

Thanks,
Matt
