I had this problem too. Win95 didn't like the CD-ROM with the master
jumper set and Linux required it.  I was playing around upgrading to the
2.0.0 kernel on the weekend and found that my CD-ROM was now working
without the master jumper being set!  On closer inspection I found that
it was detecting the CD-ROM as /dev/hdd (secondary slave)!!?!
