I had some problems with my CD-ROM.  Under win95 no problems, under
Linux no CD-ROM.  The CD-ROM is running as a master from the second IDE
channel.  What I found wasunder win95, the Master jumper had to be
removed, but under Linux it had to be in.  A bit of a bitch, but I pull
it out for win95 and stick it in for Linux.  You might want to try this
trick.

Hope this helps
