Thanks. You do indeed have both the old IDE and new IDE drivers trying to drive bits of the system. I don't see the CD-ROM in the dmesg at all however ?
If you turn off CONFIG_ATA you should get just old IDE drivers and your disk back working sanely. Alan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
