Use SCSI

Try putting the cd-rom jumpered as a "slave" on hda.

Hi,
I'm using a new ASUS PCI/I P55SP3AV motherboard with 1 gig Quantum
IDE disk, Mitsumi Quad speed ATAPI CD, 166 mhz Pentium, Etherlink III
board.  The board is kind of interesting with onboard SIS6205 video
chipset that can use system DRAM as video memory and ESS1788 AudioDrive
chip with 16-bit sound.  Of course, everything is not working at this
point.

These are some error messages at read time:

hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL1080A, 1039MB w/83KB Cache, LBA, CHS=2112/16/63
hdb: FX400_02, ATAPI CDROM drive

Unable to identify CD-ROM format.


The ATAPI CD-ROM is on hdb.  The read is failing.  Also, when I do a
LILO I get:

niji:~# lilo
geo_comp_addr: Cylinder number is too big (1026 > 1023)
niji:~# 


Paul just told me to check the BIOS.  Any other hints?

Yoroshiku..

Craig
