The Sound card presumably has a IDE port on it.  It is probable that
this is configured to be the "tertiary" IDE port.

There's a number of possible solutions, from upgrading your kernel to
a 2.0.x kernel, which supports the tertiary and quaternary IDE ports,
and running the appropriate MAKEDEV script, to just moving the CDROM
to your secondary IDE port (or to the slave position on your primary
IDE port and changing its jumpers to slave).

Later,
