I have a problem with older version of anaconda linux installer. I have upgraded kernel in my distro, but, when this anaconda boot with new 3.4.52 kernel, can NOT find cdrom. As far as I understand, this is because the new kernel recognize cd drive as srX, scdX instead of older hdX with 2.6.18. At the moment I can not upgrade anaconda and forced this kernel to recognize it as before.
Are there any kernel command line argument, kernel config or something else for kernel 3.4.52 to recognize this cdrom as hdX?
the treatment of "IDE" devices as a seperate /dev/hd* class was removed from the linux kernel quite a long time ago, now everything is mapped to 'SCSI' devices, /dev/sd*
the anaconda in whatever older version you're running is not going to work with a newer kernel, you'll need a newer anaconda, and at this point, what you have no longer resembles CentOS
