Comments/Problems:
If I select the following modules:
*ide-cd
*isofs
*ide-detect
*ide-disk
Then the CD is detected without a hitch. (brief progress bar with "scanning
your cd" then "cd-rom detected")
If I add the "piix" module then the machine hangs. This happens with 2.4 and
2.6
Only 2 ide devices:
*hd ST38421A
*lg cdrom crd 8400c
following ide driver is installed by win 98
*82371AB/EB PCI bus master ide controller
Thanks, Frans Pop, for the advice. I can likely get a working install now,
however, if you wish for me to give further information then I shall do so.
