My PC has a Panasonic/Matshita CR-572 IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM. When I boot Linux
(Slackware - I customized the kernel with sbpcd.c), it finds the CD-ROM,
but then it says:
Check region: 170 is not free.
Then it goes ahead and mounts the CD-ROM.
0x170 (IRQ 15) *is* the CD-ROM's address. I even called the manufacturer
to confirm it. That's also where my DOS partition finds it.
Does anybody know what's going on here? How do I fix this?
