Hi,

I have a FUNAI 6x CD-ROM (model E2650) and I can't get Linux to
detect the *y thing. It's connected to the second IDE so it should
be in there somewhere.

I've read posts (searching deja-news) from other people with the same
problem.

I have no problem with both MS-DOS and Windoze 95 detecting and using it.
MS-DOS drivers I have found for it are:

TOSHIBA.SYS ???
D011V200.SYS

It should just be a straight forward ATAPI/IDE interface but I have read
that the drive may be configured as a slave by it's hw and so not
detected for that reason.

If anyone has had the same problem and solved it please
a) mail me and tell me how to fix this
b) post it so that people with the same problem can find the solution
when searching usenet.

S!MON

It might really be the _third_ IDE, and your second IDE just does
not exist. in that case, you need to tell Linux about it.
Use something like ide2=0x000 <-- Use correct number!

Don't you need a boot time parameter like "hdc=cdrom" or some such?

Check the CD-ROM HOWTO.
