3rd ide master prob

I got this after a kernel update (i think).

All drives were changed in /etc/fstab to 'sda' from 'hda' and my cdrom went.

As a workaround, look for an older kernel version in your grub menu and use that one, 
this seems to recover the cdrom. That's all I have been able to do for the time being.

HTH,
