I am having the EXACT same problem as you. I have a SIDE GOLD adapter (aha152x 
compatible, VL-BUS) and have the Chinon CDS-525 and a Fujitsu 540 meg hd, both 
SCSI-2. I have no problem with the hard drive, but the CD-ROM refuses to 
mount! The CD-ROM eventally times out (under both redhat and linux CD 
Distributions) eventually saying that the superblock is bad or that the wrong 
file system is being mounted. See my origonal post in the Linux.setup group 
for all the details. WHAT IS THE @#$%*&^ DEAL HERE? (The scsi FAQ on cd-rom is 
useless for troubleshooting.)
