I forgot to mention I have: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y # Old CD-ROM drivers (not SCSI, not IDE) # CONFIG_CD_NO_IDESCSI is not set in my kernel... it takes signifigantly longer for my machine to "mount" and "seek" (for example changing songs on an audio disk - obviously unmounted) when using the scsi mode as opposed to just idecd on the same drive. I don't know if anyone can account for this or offer a solution. > I got so tired of configuring modules that I gave up and just put all > in the kernel - even though I think I could get more "control" of > things with modules (ie. my soundblaster live! 5.1)... > > Shawn > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -- > > Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > -- > > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
