Linux-Kernel.Org:
I'm not sure where to ask help for this problem. I have installed and tested many Linux distros on my Dell Inspiron 3200 which uses a Toshiba XM-1702B CDROM. I have had no problem with installing any distro from CD iso images. Now I have discovered that all distros built on kernels 2.4.21 or subsequent no longer support the Toshiba XM-1702B drive. I've tried reading thru the kernel source programs and information, and it leads one to believe that this CDROM is still supported. This can't be the case. Who can I ask for help getting a fix. I am presently using Slackware based on 2.4.20 and Xandros based on 2.4.19. Ditributions based on 2.4.21/22/24 and 2.6.1/2 will attempt to read the CDROM (/dev/hdc) but after nearly a minute an error will be displayed indicating dirctory not found. I think the problem is in the ide code in the kernel source. Exactly where I haven't a clue. I'm stuck not being able to upgrade to newer kernels.
