The CDROM that I'm using is a Creative-Labs CD, (It is detected by win95 as a Goldstar GCD-R542B) Quad speed and is connected alone to the secondary IDE port. The following lines are added to my kernel. options ATAPI options "CD9660" controller wdc1 at isa? port "IO_WD2" bio irq 15 vector wdintr device wcd0 The machine is a 486 DX2 clone, with a 1.7GB IBM disk, NE2000 compatible card. Now In the handbook, the wcd0 is referred to as controller rather than device. I've tried compiling my kernel for each (controller & device) and I get /dev/wcd0c device not configured message whenever I try to mount my CD in each situation. Any help appreciated Thank you haytham -- ________________________________________________________________________ Haytham Abd-Alsalam Algyndy Dept. of Elec. and Comp. Eng.
