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,

I think you need to write some udev rules to name the device differently. Refer to the following:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev/udev.html http://www.linuxforu.com/2012/06/some-nifty-udev-rules-and-examples/ http://www.reactivated.net/writing_udev_rules.html
HTH,
Actually I have tried lots of things. As far as I see, this is not as simple as a symlink. Anaconda C application find CDROM according to some info provided by kernel. Also, Anaconda stage1 has a very limited debug option. I have possibilities to recompile kernel with some options or run kickstart with some kernel arguments. My original problem can be found at the following mailing list thread:

If you have references to cdrom in your kickstart file, as you have mentioned in that forum, try to change them to match the device name being assigned by the kernel.
As you can see from my post in kickstart list, this method will not work.

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

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
