I've had this problem with my system since 2.1.0. I have a Creative Labs Hex speed CDROM, set as master on my secondary IDE channel. It's been the same problem in 2.1.0, 2.1.5 and 2.1.6 does is too. Although with my system I only get the wdc1 not found at 0x170f about 3 out of 4 times. If it doesn't recognise it at bootup, I do a cold boot and it is more likeley to work. (or so experience shows). However, it doesn't seem to be recognized very often by a plain reboot without a hardware reset. > > This hardware worked fine under Windoze95, ... Yeah, so did mine. Good luck, I hope someone out there who knows whats going wrong with this driver will make some sense out of this. =) Steve.
