eject: unable to find or open device for: `cdrom'

[Paul Smith]

Dear All,

The problem has partially returned. In my case, I have

# ls /dev/cdrom*
/dev/cdrom1
#

And I do the following:

# cd /dev
# ln -s ./cdrom1 cdrom

that solves the problem until a new reboot. After a new reboot, I have
to apply the solution above explained; otherwise, I get

$ eject
eject: unable to find or open device for: `cdrom'
$

What can I do to make this solution permanent, i.e., not destroyed by a reboot?

Thanks in advance,

Paul
