Regarding my previous message about linux-2.0 and sbpcd; I don't know what's
wrong yet but I made it work. When I boot from LILO with "sbpcd=230,
Soundblaster" option (as I've always done before), CD-ROM doesn't get
mounted. That's what I get:

Jun 11 20:28:54 borg kernel: sbpcd-0 [03]: Drive 0 (ID=0): CR-562 (0.80) at
0x230 (type 0)
and 3 secs later:
Jun 11 20:28:54 borg kernel: sbpcd-0 [04]: bad cc_ReadStatus after read: 00
Jun 11 20:28:54 borg kernel: sbpcd-0 [05]: st_check detected - retrying.

Jun 11 20:28:54 borg kernel: isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev 19:00

Notice: It looks at 0x230 for LaserMate although I _do not have_ a LaserMate
. If I take sbpcd=230,Soundblaster out of /etc/lilo.conf, then everything's
alright, but it takes much longer for kernel to load:

I just experimented with loadlin. It doesn't matter if I load soundcard and
cdrom DOS drivers before loadlin starts, it doesn't matter if I specify
sbpcd=230,Soundblaster parameter in loadlin config file, CD-ROM always gets
mounted. Only if I specify this parameter for LILO, then CD-ROM gets
unrecognized. Weird, ah? Did sbpcd.h change since 1.3.xx maybe?
