Probably I should be sending this to BUG_REPORTS :-) I'm currently running 2.1.5-STABLE on a 386dx40 with 8mb RAM I've run both a Matsushita CR-574 and a Matsushita CR-581 IDE CDROM as a slave to a Seagate 1.2 GB Mode 3 EIDE hard drive hanging off wdc0, and on it's own on a second IDE controller (wdc1) A bug I have noticed when I have the CD in either configuration, is the REBOOT, HALT or SHUTDOWN commands no longer work properly - what I *think* is happening, is that the controller is trying to "sync" the CD before shutdown (still syncs any harddrive ok though). The box then just hangs at that step - it never gets to the "press any key to reboot" stage Disable the CD, and everything works fine. Has this been fixed in later releases? Andrew
