I have an IDE CDROM on my secondary IDE controller, as device 0. There is no device 1, it is the only device on the secondary controller. Upon boot, it is found by the hardware probe, although it does take a while after booting for the probe. The address, irq, etc found by the probe is correct for the device. fstab contains an entry for the device with the noauto flag set. Any attempt to mount this device results in the cdrom light flashing wildly for a few seconds and then mount returning "Input/Output Error" and exiting. I have used this CDROM with Linux 1.2.13 with no trouble, so I am sure I am missing something simple. Any help would be most appreiciated. Thanks! Todd
