In any case, an ATAPI CD is always called wcd0, nomatter where you connect it. If you're using 2.2 and later you should have (in addition to options ATAPI and device wcd0 also options ATAPI_STATIC in your kernel config). If this doesn't work still, try swapping the CD with the second HD on the first controller. It might help you to get it to work. Nadav
