Further to the dialog below I have investigated all the answers that I have recieved and found that all are right (great, thanks) except the answer below! I am not sure I fully understand this one.
(gtcd (for X) and cdcd (tty) both use ioclt calls that my kernel/cdrom like (not sure if it is kernel or cdrom that is creating the error, this might require a philosphical answer?)) Anyway in reference to Bill's comments below please offer further help. Is the kernel option that is being referenced a compile time (.config) option or is it a boot time option that I would pass the kernel via lilo? I have gone through the kernel compile configuration using "make config", and "make xconfig" and can not find the option mentioned.
