The only section that I modified was the atapi_probe I noticed this, thanks! I'll be recommending this file to anyone with a 2.1.5 system who wishes to try and get their non-functioning IDE CDROM to work. It's a pity, in fact, that I didn't know this was 2.1 relative until just now (I'd assumed you'd made your changes to -current) or I'd have stuck it in the experimental section. Ah well. Anyway, this brings us to my next point, which is that the atapi stuff has changed somewhat in 2.2 in order to support devfs and I won't be able to simply drop your stuff on top - we're going to have to re-port your changes into the 2.2 codebase before I can commit it to the FreeBSD source tree. Since you understand the nature of your changes far better than I do, could I perhaps convince you to grab a copy of the relevant kernel sources from -current and do the merge? I'll be happy to take things from that stage forward. Thanks! Jordan
