I'm trying to add a CD-ROM reader to my 2.0.5 system but am not getting 
too far. The system uses a 486DX2-66 and a Maxtor 500MB drive. I acquired 
an old Future Domain 840 controller and modified the kernel to enable the 
sea0 controller. It seems okay with the controller when booting, but 
after the "waiting for scsi devices to settle" stage, I get errors from the 
driver:

	sea: arbitration timeout

The CD-ROM drive spins up when the driver starts, but when it begins to 
poll for devices, the busy light comes on and stays on forever. Both the 
controller and drive are known good. I've tried changing the scsi id for 
the drive to no effect. Anybody got a clue where I can go from here?

TIA...
