Here are the kernel probing messages: Sep 17 23:14:56 buk /kernel: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa Sep 17 23:14:56 buk /kernel: wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): Sep 17 23:14:56 buk /kernel: wd0: 515MB (1056384 sectors), 1048 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S Sep 17 23:14:56 buk /kernel: wdc0: unit 1 (wd1): Sep 17 23:14:56 buk /kernel: wd1: 814MB (1667232 sectors), 1654 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S Sep 17 23:14:56 buk /kernel: wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa Sep 17 23:14:56 buk /kernel: wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): , removable, intr, iordis Has anyone reported bugs with the ATAPI support failing for IDE disks? If so, which version are you using? If these problems have been resolved, I would like to see IDE CD-ROMs supported in the GENERIC 2.1.0 kernel (you'll sell more Walnut Creek CD-ROMs for sure :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jake Hamby | E-Mail: jehamby@lightside.com Student, Cal Poly University, Pomona | System Administrator, JPL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
