[ale] CD-ROM Problem

[Eric Hunter Eidson]

Ok, here's the situation, if anyone can help, I'd greatly apreciate it...

I've been running Linux for a while now, with a SoundBlaster 16, and using
a Panasonic CDROM connected through /dev/sbpcd.  I decided to upgrade my
CD-ROM to an IDE 4x speed drive.  

My system is a 486dx4100, with AMI's Graphical BIOS.  It's got an IDE
controller with a Primary and Secondary EIDE connector.  I've got 2 Hard Drives
connected to the Primary connector, and the CD-ROM is connected to the
Secondary connector.

The problem is that Linux will not acknoledge the CD-ROM.  Win-95 sees it, and
even likes it.  Linux doesn't even recognize ide1 as a valid device.  I have
configured the kernel (1.3.8x) for IDE ATAPI, and have turned off SBPCD
support.

Any help would be appreciated, and I'll answer any questions I might have
missed.

I'm trying to avoid buying a *NEW* IDE controller, but I will if needed.

Oh, the CD-ROM is a Mitsumi IDE drive, which I've installed the same model in
another Linux Box, that works perfectly...
