I did not use the link idea because I saw it is a patch to whatever
the real problem is.

I think the real problem is that in older than 8.04 the cdrom was
called hd0 and now is called scd0. Kaffiene is set to look for hdo and
has not been updated to look for scd0. When you do update it
everything is then fine.
All this seems to be related to fdisk settings being outdated do to
the new use off HAL or something like that that automatically sets up
the fdisk stuff at boot.
