Having had no success with 2.1 recognizing either my IDE CD-ROM or my 3Com 3C590, I decided to have a go at 2.1.5. I'm happy to say that the 2.1.5 boot floppy saw that I have a CD-ROM. Two observations here: - I had move the drive from IDE2 master to IDE1 slave, per the suggestion often seen in these mailing lists. This made no difference at all when I tried a 2.1 boot floppy. That the 2.1.5 floppy sees my drive surprised me, since it seems I've read here that the atapi code in 2.1.5 isn't really any different than in 2.1. Or is that not correct? - When I actually tried to read anything from the CD, the system rebooted. However, since I don't have a 2.1.5 CD, I was trying to use the 2.1.5 boot floppy to read stuff off the 2.1 CD, so perhaps that is the cause. I'm also happy to say that the installed 2.1.5 system sees (and uses!) my 3C590 ethernet card. During bootup I do see two messages worth noting: >Probing for devices on PCI bus 1: >vx0 <3Com 3c590 EtherLink III PCI> rev 0 int a irq 10 on pci1:8 >utp[*UTP*] address %D >Warning! Defective early revision adapter! I doubt if this is an early revision adapter. The system is less than 2 months old. >wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa >wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <ST32140A> >wd0: 2015MB (4127760 sectors), 4095 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S >wdc0: unit 1 (atapi): <NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:282/3.04>, removable, dma, iordy >atapi0.1: unknown phase What is "unknown phase"? (I believe someone else asked about this yesterday.) Hardware: Dell OptiPlex PPro 180 Mhz 3Com PCI EtherLink III builtin 3C590 (it's on the motherboard)
