Well, the disk is SATA so it's CONFIG_ATA/libata, which works fine here, unless you somewhat replaced your CD-ROM with a legacy IDE disk :-) Or maybe the problem is related to the CD-ROM drive. There's a libata driver for it nowadays, so you can use PATA_MACIO instead of IDE_PMAC Cheers, Ben. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
