Hello, thanks for answering. I followed your advice, here's the batch file I use to boot Linux with the line you suggested (I use loadlin exclusively):
@echo off smartdrv /C loadlin c:\linux\kernel\zimage root=/dev/hda2 ro hdc=cdrom ide1=1e8
This still doesn't work though; I've included parts of the /var/adm/messages file pertaining to the last bootup:
-------------------------------------------------------------- Kernel logging (proc) started. ide1: hdc: cdrom
<snip, snip> Sound initialization started snd2 <SoundBlaster 16 4.13> at 0x220 irq 7 drq 1 snd6 <SoundBlaster 16 4.13> at 0x220 irq 7 drq 5 snd7 <SoundBlaster MPU-401> at 0x330 irq 7 drq 0 snd1 <Yamaha OPL-3 FM> at 0x388 irq 0 drq 0 Sound initialization complete hda: ST51080A, 1033MB w/256KB Cache, LBA, CHS=525/64/63, MaxMult=32 hdc: IRQ probe failed (0) hdc: IRQ probe failed (0) hdc: ATAPI cdrom (?) ide1: secondary interface on irq 15 ide0: primary interface on irq 14

You'll notice that the SoundBlaster was correctly detected (using a TASD 3.05 VoxWare driver). When I boot the PC under DOS, I get the following info from MSCDEX about the CD-ROM: it's an Oak Technology OTI-11 CD420A, IRQ 7, port 1E8. Actually, It's connected to the SB16 card, not some odd IDE interface. I think the reason why the kernel sees two IDE interfaces (ide0, ide1) is that the IDE controller is an EIDE PCI type on the motherboard (no card).
I'm not *really* sure if the CDROM is ATAPI, the Creative stuff on their site claims it's `IDE,' whatever that is ;)
Anyway, you'll notice that the CDROM uses the same IRQ as the Sound Blaster; the BLASTER environment variable under DOS is
BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H5 P330 T6
Any (more) ideas would be welcome... Thanks!
