I have a Yamaha cd-rw and an Acer cdrom 24x. Both cd drivers are
atapi EIDE drives. The cd-rw is set to be a slave, and the Acer is a
master. I was running RedHat 5.2 kernel 2.0.36 and it was able to
recognize both of my drives while booting, but since I upgraded to
RedHat 6.0 the new kernel 2.2.5 recognizes only my cd-rw in boot time
but not the cdrom. Any idea why this happens? Anybody has a similar
problem?

Thanks in advance

I had similar problems

I had to move my HP cd-rw to master and the cdrom to slave to make it
work
also to be able to use cdrecord you have to disable eide cdrom support in
the kernel and enable scsi emulation and generic scsi support. there was
also a line to add to lilo.conf ??? hmmm why can't I think of it now.

Hello and Thanks for your suggestions and help
I switched the drives but that did not work. Both of my drivers are
EIDE. I am thinking if i disabled the EIDE cdrom support in the kernel might
leave me without any cd drive.

Let me know what you think
thanks

Nope ... you can disable IDE CDROM support only (not HDD support) and use
SCSI emulation. Both your EIDE CD-ROMs should then work fine.

cheers,
