Re: rebuilt kernel with sbpcd
Found it. Thanks to Peter, Daniel, Steve and Luis for the advice. I wanted access to the list of drivers found in /usr/src/linux/drivers/cdrom/Config.in. The correct selection was `CD-ROM drivers (not for SCSI or IDE/ATAPI drives)' and the process is much easier using `make menuconfig.' Mike -- Michael Hill Toronto, Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You must edit sbpcd.h (its in one of the kernel include directories) There are several lines you will want to remove or "fix up".
rebuilt kernel with sbpcd
Following the instructions in sbpcd (the README for release 4.2 or newer of the SoundBlaster Pro CD-ROM driver for Linux) I rebuilt the kernel with no apparent improvement. The driver still spends many long seconds probing for a LaserMate at startup (I can access data CDs). During the `make config' procedure I'm able to select the following: SCSI support (CONFIG_SCSI) SCSI disk support(CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD) SCSI CD-ROM support (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR) ISO9660 cdrom filesystem support (CONFIG_ISO9660_FS) but not Matsushita CD-ROM support (CONFIG_SBPCD) or any of its alternatives. Is there something else I need to select first to be given this choice? I have a SoundBlaster 16 with a Panasonic CR-562B. Thanks. Mike -- Michael Hill Toronto, Canada [EMAIL PROTECTED]
