The entry in fstab looks like this:

/dev/hdc                /media/cdrom            auto
pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/fd0                /media/floppy           auto
pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,exec,noauto,managed 0
0

So it thinks it is in the right place - could there be something
specific with KsCD that it is looking for /dev/cdrom??

If I just type 'eject' at the console, the cdrom drive opens properly.

Anyplace else that might point to /dev/cdrom that needs to be changed??

thanks,
