I'm not sure how easy it would be to bring those changes back into 2.0.5. The matcd driver is not designed to handle IDE devices, so I'm not surprised it doesn't work for you. I would suggest waiting until 2.1-RELEASE before moving your server away from Linux. You will also want to ensure that the ATAPI support in that release works for your CDROM drive (its really BETA if you know what I mean). 2.1-RELEASE should be availible in a couple weeks. >%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% >% Address: Gheorghe ARDELEAN >% West Univ.
