In /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sgi-visws.txt There is some mention of
the PIIX4. Other than that I don't know. Have tried very hard to
stay away from Intel chipsets.
What does grep -i "ATAPI CDROM" /usr/src/linux/.config say
As I don't know what your level of expertise is I won't suggest
anything else until I get an answer. Or you find the problem yourseld
and let us know.
HTH, YMMV, HAND
