Aww C'mon guys.. that's no way to treat a Linux user. I'll give it a go.. When I had a Sony cdu31a a long time back I had to use : cdu31a=0x320,0 I put that on the lilo boot line, and appended it to the options later on when I compiled cdu31a support as a module. It seems that the SONY line of CDROM drives are prorietary and so they can only use a polling method to access the card and not direct DMA so that's why the ,0 in the option line. Anyways... replace the 0x320 above with your address and give it a go... As I had a cdu31a it may be different, but chances are, if your CDROM hooks into a proprietary controller (and not to an IDE controller card for instance), this could be the answer for you... A lot of help can be found in the CDROM HOW-TO as well, including some advice on misbehaving CDU drives. Good luck. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
