Kim,

have you read my documentation on how to boot Bering from a CDROM?

It's available @

http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bucdrom.html

Have fun!

Ok I' ll try that and see what happens.

I used downloaded versions, but I used the same patches for the kernel so I
don't think that is the problem, especially in combination with the next
comment. (read on)

After I boot all modules are loaded (according to lsmod) except for isofs.o.
If i try to insmod isofs.o I get the same problem, but a mount -t iso9660
/dev/cdrom /mnt works like a charm. So I think I can conclude that there is
nothing wrong with the modules, can't 
I?

I am affraid this also rules out master/slave problems.

Correction this definitely rules out master/slave
since flashrom is on ide channel 0 & cdrom on ide channel 1.

I didn't include ideflash support in the kernel by the way, the apacer
module uses the ide specifiaction and does not need anything special to
work.
