this has probably been addressed, however I cannot find the answer and 
would appreciate any help. I have a standard nec cdrom as master on the 
secondary ide and it is not recognized when i try to install with it 
using 2.1.5 release, when i boot with the 2.2 snap it is recognized and 
i get to the point where it is starting to copy files and it hangs with 
the hard disk light, and the cd light both on. it is recognized as the 
cd rom on wcd0 and as audio on wcd1 with unknown as second line, is 
there anyway to get my cd recognized without setting it as slave to 
primary controller?  what do I need for source to recompile the kernal 
so it is recognized after I install, I only have 40 meg to work with on 
my dos partition to copy files to, but i can always download whatever I 
will need, however, please be specific, I am a newbie :)
