Re: CD-ROM doesn't mount w/ 2.4.18



hi ya mark

- check your cables... keep it straight as reasonably possible

- use the short ata-66/100 ide cables ( 18" or less )
	- cables should have ground between the signals
	80 conductors vs 40...

- use one disk per cable... do NOT mix and match ide speeds
	ata-33 on one cable
	ata-66 on a different cable
	ata-100 on a 3rd cable... 
	... dont mix um up....

- since its the cdrom that is timing out... its probably that
  the system is talking ot it at ata-66/100 speeds insteadof ata-33
