Hi George, I had the same problem. In my case I have noticed that the slave device on the primary channel was detectes twice duriong boot-up. So I connected the cd-rom to the secondary channel and everything works fine. You can check with dmesg what it probes. Again, in my case it was and STILL IS
hda hdb hdb <- instead of hdc! Is it a bug? hdd It never detects the master device on the secondary channel, thus my cdrom is connected as a slave on the secondary( without any master devices on it which contradicts to IDE specifications..) CDROM is accessible from linux and dos. I do not know what the problem is. Regards, ZORO On Sat, 29 Aug 1998, George Bonser wrote: > > Just a note ...
