My "_NEC DVD+RW ND-2100AD, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive" that is easily identified under 2.4.25 (as /dev/hdc) goes missing under my 2.6.6 kernel. dmesg has no hint at all of the DVD. This is my only IDE device (using a SATA hard drive). Is this a matter of finding the right module? The machine is sid, u

The current beta 4 debian-installer will install to SATA okay, but treats the disk as IDE (/dev/hda). In moving to kernel 2.6.6 from sid this uses SCSI (/dev/sda) and the reboot fails. Is there a migration path one needs to follow? Regards, Graham -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
