I have a Reveal 4x cdrom and I'm having a miserable time getting it to
work with Linux. It's a NEC IDE.

Can anyone help me out please?
please?

It's an IDE CD ROM. You need to configure the kernel with the
IDE support and the ATAPI CD support.

I can't remember what the exact options are when you configure
the kernel, but include IDE support and the IDE CD stuff. I'm
running with the same CD drive and it works great.

The /dev/hdc* and /dev/hdd* in the generic Slackware are setup incorrectly.
There is a script in /usr/src/linux/drivers/block/MAKEDEV.ide1 that will
make the correct devices.

If that doesn't work, I don't know what to say.

Take care,
