I compiled the kernel with the ATAPI options, did MAKEDEV wcd0, and mount_cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom. I get a "device not configured message". When I boot I get the correct probe for 'wdc1 found at 0x170 at irq 15' message, however it hangs there a long time and the cdrom light does not come on. I got exactly the same thing when I tried to install someone's Mitsumi 4X IDE cdrom with a EIDE controller built into the mother board. I was under the impression that you could use EIDE controllers but they would operate as IDE controllers. Is this my problem, as I fear? If this is the problem is anyone working on an EIDE driver? Anyway, thanks for any feedback. --------------------------------------------------------- | uffda@fubar.cs.montana.edu | Dan Dartman | Roberts Hall - room 518 ---------------------------------------------------------
