I just know I'm missing something really basic here, but would appreciate any hints you might have. I recompiled my 2.2.8-RELEASE GENERIC kernel, and while I've reduced the kernel size in half, and shortened the time from boot prompt to login prompt, I cannot seem to get cdrom support in my recompiled kernel. (The GENERIC kernel, which I configured using the visual configuration tool at time of first install, has cdrom support and works fine.) I have an ATAPI cdrom; I have device wcd0 in my new kernel (HOMEBASE); I have options ATAPI and ATAPI_STATIC enabled. What am I missing? I do not have any SCSI controllers. The options "CD9660" line is enabled. I have, I believe, included all the controllers and devices as set out in the handbook; a search of the mailing list archives seems so focus more on the addition of IDE CD-ROM support to the kernel four years ago rather than any current problems. Other than the lines which identify the kernel and reflect increased available memory for the recompiled kernel, dmesg output for the GENERIC kernel and the HOMEBASE kernel are identical, except that GENERIC has the following three lines reflecting cd-rom support and HOMEBASE does not: wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): <CRD-8160B/1.04>, removable, accel, dma, iordis wcd0: 2734KB/sec, 128KB cache, audio play, 255 volume levels, ejectable tray wcd0: 120mm data disc loaded, unlocked, lock protected The following lines from the configuration file are identical in GENERIC and HOMEBASE: options ATAPI #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus options ATAPI_STATIC #Don't do it as an LKM device wcd0 #IDE CD-ROM Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
