Release :  2.1.7
Environment : Pentium 166, 2 Gb HDD, 1.44 FDD, Creative 16X CD-ROM
Description

      CD-ROM not found, Not working if connected on second IDE channel. (either
as master or as slave).
      CD-ROM works fine if connected on first IDE channed as slave and HDD as
master.
      CD-ROM works fine if connected on first IDE or seconf IDE channel if used
in Windows 95.

I have to rebuild kernel for using CD-ROM on first IDE channel after adding

option ATAPI            and
device wcd0

in the config file. I also added following line in config so as to add device on

secondary IDE channel

device wcd1

I have't forgotten to add "controller wd1" in the config file.

I would like to have CDROM on second IDE channel so as to utilize 16X speed. If
CDROM is on the same channel as of HDD then there are very severe speed
penalties...

How-To-Repeat

     Attach CDROM to secondary IDE controller as slave, OR as master  on the
same controller.
