Hi,
Regarding my previous message about linux-2.0 and sbpcd; I don't know what's wrong yet but I made it work. When I boot from LILO with "sbpcd=230, Soundblaster" option (as I've always done before), CD-ROM doesn't get mounted. That's what I get:
Jun 11 20:28:54 borg kernel: sbpcd-0 [01]: sbpcd.c v4.4 Eberhard Moenkeberg <emoenke@gwdg.de> Jun 11 20:28:54 borg kernel: sbpcd-0 [02]: Scanning 0x230 (LaserMate)... Jun 11 20:28:54 borg kernel: sbpcd-0 [03]: Drive 0 (ID=0): CR-562 (0.80) at 0x230 (type 0)
and 3 secs later:
Jun 11 20:28:54 borg kernel: sbpcd-0 [04]: bad cc_ReadStatus after read: 00 Jun 11 20:28:54 borg kernel: sbpcd-0 [05]: st_check detected - retrying. Jun 11 20:28:54 borg kernel: sbpcd-0 [08]: bad cc_ReadStatus after read: 00 Jun 11 20:28:54 borg kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev 19:00, sector 64 Jun 11 20:28:54 borg kernel: isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev 19:00 iso_blknum 16 block 32
Notice: It looks at 0x230 for LaserMate although I _do not have_ a LaserMate . If I take sbpcd=230,Soundblaster out of /etc/lilo.conf, then everything's alright, but it takes much longer for kernel to load:

I just experimented with loadlin. It doesn't matter if I load soundcard and cdrom DOS drivers before loadlin starts, it doesn't matter if I specify sbpcd=230,Soundblaster parameter in loadlin config file, CD-ROM always gets mounted. Only if I specify this parameter for LILO, then CD-ROM gets unrecognized. Weird, ah? Did sbpcd.h change since 1.3.xx maybe?
