devfs cdrom mount pb

[qwerty314]

Hi
My linux box was runing fine till I decide to try devfs on RH7.3 with 2.4.18-3 kernel
after some adjustments everything is nearly OK with the new /dev concepts but when I
try to mount a cdrom it says that the device is not a block device.
cat /proc/scsi/scsi gives :

Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: PLEXTOR  Model: CD-R   PX-W1610A Rev: 1.02
  Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00
  Vendor: SAMSUNG  Model: CD-ROM SC-152C   Rev: CS05
  Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI SCSI revision: 02

and ls -l /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/* gives
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root      21,   1 jan  1  1970
/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/generic

quid?
why has my cdrom entry switched from a block to a character device and how to cure it ?

thanks                Denis
