Hello Antonio,

*please* fix your line wrapping. It's annoying to fix it manually.

Like adding generic SCSI support and specifying hdX=scsi at the boot
prompt?  There is no need to completely remove ATAPI from the kernel.

That's why you should backup a working .config before changing something
:) I learned that the hard way, too.

Hmmm? The docs are in /usr/src/linux-?/Documentation if it's a vanilla
kernel, can't speak for a debianized one.

IIRC you need the emu10k1 driver for it. Configure it as a module in
your kernel and d/l the latest version  here:

Not all ? in one readers are supported but the chances are not bad.
You'll need USB mass storage support in your kernel AFAIK.

USB 2.0 Works for Me (TM). The firewire port is recognized but i don't
have any devices using it.

Generic SCSI is your friend.

Huh? Either you have a hardware problem, or there is a serious bug in a
driver module. The kernel must not Oops when loading the wrong driver)
