After upgrade to FC3 my /dev/cdrom disappeared, any idea?

Hello:
This is strange.
When I upgraded from RH9 to FC2 this worked fine.
Then I upgraded (smae system) from FC2 to FC3.

Now, the CD-ROM works fine with data CD's. (can mount, etc...).
But with music CD (using KsCD), I get an error message.
/dev/cdrom does not exist anymore. (but /dev/hdb is there,
and /media/cdrecorder too, but KsCD is lost and gives an error message
related to "/dev/cdrom".

Any idea on how to fix this?

I someone get the feeling that "fresh install" (that I am reluctant to do
for now), may fix the problem.
When the system boot, I still get the old RH9 warning message telling that
FAT32 is still ALPHA.

But rather than reinstalling the system, could I not refresh the scripts?
If yes which ones, and how is this documented.
----
Thanks.

First update to the latest FC3 kde-3.3.1 packages (if you have not already
done so). Then follow the advice here in bugzilla;
