Wait, if your hard drive is hda then it has to be the master on ide1 so your
cdrom can not be set as master also, you would have to set it as slave, your
HP could be set master if there is no other hard drive on the ide2 bus. Have
you tried setting the jumpers on the CD and DVD drives to slave? HTH

Yes, I can boot into Mandrake after installing from FTP, but my CD-ROM
drives still do not work.  I haven't tried any manual nudging (mostly
because I have no idea what to try).

My drive hookup is as follows:

MBFastrack33 (onboard UltraDMA 133): /dev/hda (works fine, even with
UDMA mode)

Onboard IDE: DVD-ROM as master
Onboard IDE2: HP 9100i as master

Anything on the onboard IDE doesn't work...
