HI,
I'm having problems getting 2.1R to mount anything in my quad-speed Hitachi
CD-ROM.  You get "device not configured" when you try to mount.
It's not a kernel config problem, or anything like that.  The device is
properly recognized during boot-up.

Now, I remember the 2.1 snapshots, even just 2 weeks before the release,
didn't work well with 4x speed drives.  But I think I had 2.1R working with
a 4x-speed Mitsumi drive on another machine a while back.

So what's the scoop?  Should my 4x work OK?

thanks,
Jonathan
