Whatever happened to the Philips CM-205 driver? It used to work really well... My mother has an ancient 486 with a beethoven audiocard and a LMS CM-205 cdrom and windows-3.1 won't work for her (ISP only talks to 32-bit systems like macintoshes, linux systems, and win95+... it's on an NT box so YMMV). Anyways, years ago I tried linux on it and it worked. Now it won't... ??? (sorry to ramble) [aside: IDE doesn't work - constant "drive may be confused?" errors.] Oh, it's a 486 DX/2-66 with VLB ISA card (ADD^2 ??) and beethoven 16-bit audiocard (as well as a buncha other stuff). 12MB ram. I don't know what else is needed to be known...
Incidentally, 2.3.28 segmentation-faults and resets if one tries to mount a SCSI disk (Toshiba XM-4101TA) while the drive is spinning up on an AIC-7xxx (294x UW). 2.2 doesn't do this... haven't tried 2.3.29 yet.
Oh, BTC 24X cdroms seem to go to sleep after a while... Linux has a -cow- talking to them until they wake up completely (timeouts on device)... Is it possible this cdrom needs a wakeup or keepawake call? (not sure, I've -avoided- looking at the IDE cdrom driver code :)
G'day, eh? :) (and thanks for any and all answers 'xcept spam :) - Teunis
PS: Anyone know why FIC PA-2007 boards just suddenly die without reason after about a year or so? Lost one a bit ago and first to go was IDE controller, nuking just about all my IDE hardware...
