But I don't want a pseudo-SCSI CD drive.  Just the usual IDE type.  I
see no reason why I can't have one, and with a 2.4 kernel it just works.
What I'm puzzled by is why it fails under 2.6 (although I notice the
ide-detect module seems to have disappeared in 2.6).

I don't have access to the machine just now - I'll try explicitly
loading the IDE modules when I next get at it.

Cheers,
John
