This is not a problem. I've posted (in original mail) that DVD is found fine (and linked as /dev/cdrom). But I have a Maxtor HDD on the same ide-tape and it is not detected at all.

Are you using an 80 pin IDE cable and are both drives set to cable
select (usually preferable) or is one master and one slave?

Yes, this is 80-wire cable; both are connected on the same cable. HDD is master and DVD is slave. I'll later try disconnecting DVD and see what happens. I didn't set cable-select due to how these drives are connected

mobo hdd dvd

I think that cable select would take dvd as master and hdd as slave.
This was not preferable when hdd was my primary drive. I can try cable-select now since I boot off new SATA drive.

Thank you,
