Hello,

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?

Best Regards,

www.elrepo.org has working 3.x kernels. Why don't you try theirs?
