I've got a Dell Precision 650. It's got a SCSI harddisk, a IDE CD-ROM
drive, and a IDE ZIP disk. When I boot this kernel, it fails to detect
the IDE CD-ROM or IDE ZIP disk. Here is the evidence I have for making
this statement:
1. no IDE devices are listed in /proc/devices
2. mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 says
/dev/hdc is not a valid block device
3. The normal lines in /var/log/dmesg where each
device reports itself are missing. The only ide
related message is as follows
ReiserFS: sda1: Using r5 hash to sort names

My /etc/modules file has ide-cd, ide-detect and sd_mod in it.
b3427test1:/var/log# modprobe ide-detect
FATAL: Module ide_detect not found.
ide-detect does not exist in 2.6.
Are you sure you have the correct ide drivers insmoded ?
The /etc/modules file is the one that was generated when I installed
from a Sarge install CD. Is there another module that does what
ide-detect does? Do you have any suggestions for configuration changes
that might fix this problem?
Thanks,
Tom
