Current config: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 flags 0x80ff on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <ST31220A>, multi-block-32 wd0: 1033MB (2115792 sectors), 2099 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): <CD-ROM CDU55E/1.0u>, removable, accel, dma, iordy wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 flags 0x80ff on isa wdc1: unit 0 (wd2): <Maxtor 72004 AP>, multi-block-32 wd2: 1916MB (3924144 sectors), 3893 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S I had to do this on a friend's machine as well, since the CD-ROM wasn't recognized as secondary master. Go figure. I guess the moral of the story is to just try all possible configs until it works. Anyone knows if 2.1.6 or 2.2 improves on this situation? I'd like to put the cover back on the box eventually... -- Gabor Kincses (gabor@acm.org)
