Re: New disc kicks out CD-ROM support

hi

1) are you absolutely sure that you have correctly set the pins on the 
two gadgets in the secondary ide channel, so that one is master and one 
is slave ? (It happened to me...)
2) go into the BIOS and check that there are no strange settings wrt to 
those drives (for example, choose "autodetect")
3)  post the result of dmesg here (both with the drive ,and w/o )
