You might like to try this (assuming all ide modules are presently unloaded): # modprobe ide-core cdrom=0.1 # modprobe falconide # modprobe ide-cd Maybe that will create the device nodes... or maybe not. If it works for you then it will probably work for Amiga users also. (Mac IDE ports are used for hard disk drives; the CD-ROM drives are all SCSI.) After having skimmed the docs, I don't have any other ideas besides testing older kernel builds (and 'git bisect'). --
