With:
# modprobe ide-cd
I get:
Uniform Multiplatform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00beta4-2.4
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx

With:
# modprobe cdrom
I get no output.

After that mount /cdrom still does not work.

I could stay with old kernel and also upgrade to newer 2.6.xx, but don't know if I'll experience other problems (the ones I'm having are enough for me now ;)).

Further I need to install LVM support for my two disk drives (I have all in one disk now) but I don't actually know how to check if a kernel has LVM support (and I hoped that newer ones have it). Does anybody know this?

Anyhow I really would like to _understand_ why cdrom isn't working for me now and how I can solve this (...yes I'd like to learn more about Linux and Debian:)).

Best regards,
Marco Ballini
