[0]dbradt@ford.com (Dennis Bradt (R)) writes on one long long line: [0]Also I need to know how I can get the system to recognize the cdrom [0]which I have installed. I have tried everything except for successfully [0]compiling the kernel. My cdrom is a soundblaster situated on a secondary [0]IDE interface card. There is no setting on the card itself for making it [0]a master rather than slave drive. The port at which it is located is [0]0x250. In order to give it this port address I gave the parameter at boot [0] [0]boot: -c [0] [0]and then I typed visual and inserted the port address into the matcd0 [0]device. The cdrom is a 2x speed cdrom. [0]... [0]SoundBlaster 2x CD on IDE interface card The matcd driver is NOT for IDE drives. You need to be changing settings on the ATAPI CD-ROM driver, wcd. The HARDWARE.TXT and RELEASE.TXT (plus the matcd.4 man page) discuss this. If the drive is connected to a connector that says "Creative/Panasonic", then you would use the matcd driver.
