mount: Too many levels of symbolic links

[oliveira@mit.edu]

Hi,

not sure if my last message went through... I don't think so.  As you can tell
I'm a newbie...  I have woody installed on my sony vaio and it works great, but
I can't access my cdrom.  I get the following message if I try to mount it:

brasilia# mount /dev/cdrom
mount: Too many levels of symbolic links

To see what was going on I:

brasilia# ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           10 Apr 15 21:19 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/cdrom

So it looks to me that it is linked to itself?  Is that right?  How do I fix this?

thanks,

Ivan.
