Hmmm....I'm just flailing around, since removing the non-exisitent drives works on my machine, but you might want to try these: 1. Make sure your kernel config has these lines in it: options ATAPI #Enable ATAPI support for IDE bus options ATAPI_STATIC #Don't do it as an LKM 2. You might want to give this a shot, to let the CDROM drive settle before being probed: options IDE_DELAY=8000 # Be optimistic about Joe IDE device (This is from the 4.0 LINT file--check your 3.4 version to make sure the command is the same. I think it is, but make sure :-) 3. Check the jumpers on your CDROM and tape drive, and make sure one is the master and the other the slave. The CDROM should probably be the master.
