Can anyone help me,

I am trying to install Slackware 3.0 on my 486DX2-66 PC. However,
Linux cannot recognize my IDE CD-ROM. I have tried many types of bootdisks
with no success. I have a Creative Labs 6x IDE CD-ROM connected to an SB16
and its jumper is at master position.
Also, I have tried to force the kernel to find the CD-ROM by passing the
address and IRQ.

I'd appreciate any help.

I tought the SB16 CDROM interface was accessible by using the SBPCD kernel
rather than the IDE one. I've installed my daughter's Linux on a
2X Sound Blaster, I used SBPCD/COLOR144 and everything went well. I don't
have experience with the 6x though, maybe I'm telling you the wrong
story.

Make sure the jumpers for the IDE port on the Sound Blaster are set for the
secondary IO address. Linux (actually, any 32-bit operating system), can't or
won't see devices on the tertiary or quaternary IDE ports.

I'm using a 6X Creative cdrom as well, and I too have faced this. One
way to get around it it is to copy all the slackware files onto your
hd and install from there. That's the way I did it. After that I had
to upgrade my kernel and make it so that I could use a sound card as
well as the six speed. You need the aidecd kernel I believe. It's
not the sbpcd bootdisk if you haven't tried it. If you read the
CDROM-HOWTO, KERNAL-HOWTO, and the SOUND-HOWTO. You can get
everything working. Just remember the cd you have is not considered a
sbpcd or a ide cd, it is in fact a ATAPI interface( new drives use
this) . Anyway, hope this helped. cya.
