The first is with the CD-ROM drive. It is a wearnes CD-820 IDE unit which is running of the secondary controller on the motherboard (an AsusTek P5NP5 I think) I have compiled a kenrel with ATAPI and the support for IDE CD-ROMS but the unit is is not recogonised. Is there something else to do with the software or is it the fact the CD-ROM is seen as a slave not a master. The second problem is with an Accton PCI ethernet card. The card is NE2000 compatible but uses an address of E000 and IRQ 12. Can I compile the kernel to support the address or am I stuck on that one. Thanks in advance Marc
