On some hardware, IDE cd-roms are not auto-dectected properly when you
boot the machine. It is just possible that this is your problem (it
certainly was mine!) You can fix this by using the boot-prompt argument
"hd[abcd]=cdrom" when you boot linux. (You can do this from the rescue
disc: rescue root=/dev/yourrootpartition hdc=cdrom. Alternatively you can
do it with loadlin or put it in your lilo.conf)
HTH!
