Here's what I have tried.
Swapped my cdrw and dvd from their original positions, now I have: On the first IDE cable: 80gb IDE hard drive (udma100 capable) - linked to /dev/hda 80gb IDE hard drive (udma100 capable) - linked to /dev/hdb On the second IDE cable: ATAPI DVD-ROM - linked to /dev/hdc ATAPI CDRW - linked to /dev/sr1
The CDRW would be /dev/sr0
Added to my lilo.conf: (as suggested by Joe Morris) append = "hdc=ide-cd hdd=ide-scsi"
This was only if you used lilo. Otherwise, if GRUB, IIRC it is menu.lst (I only have 8.0 and use lilo).

I think this is your problem. I know there was a VIA Southridge patch in one of the later kernels. Maybe you should try a newer kernel.

IRQ 14 is your primary IDE controller, IRQ 15 is your secondary IDE controller. I think you have found the source of your problem. I don't believe your controller is supported in your kernel. -- Joe & Sesil Morris New Tribes Mission Email Address: Joe_Morris@ntm.org Web Address: http://www.mydestiny.net/~joe_morris Registered Linux user 231871 God said, I AM that I AM.
