Hello!

I recently bought a second-hand motherboard and wanted to install a new
CDROM on the secondary controller.
However, any devices I try to connect to the secondary controller does
not get detected correctly.

The BIOS detection detects it as "ASUS" (on the primary, working
controller its labelled "ASUS S500 CD/DVD CD-ROM").

Under Windows 98, it does show up as drive D:, and when I open it while a
data CD is loaded, it contains a single audio "Track 01", double-click on
that produces an error "the disc is not in the drive".
Control Panel shows no HW conflicts.
(note: the cdrom does work on primary controller, the cable is OK,
master/slave jumpering changes nothing)

Under linux, if I try to mount a cdrom, I get this:

[wirligig]/root # mount /dev/hdd /mnt/test/
/dev/hdd: Input/output error
mount: block device /dev/hdd is write-protected, mounting read-only
/dev/hdd: Input/output error
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[wirligig]/root # mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /mnt/test/
mount: block device /dev/hdd is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd,
       or too many mounted file systems


and the syslog shows this:

I use the correct modules, I have support for iso9660, and the problem is
independent from kernel version (currently 2.4.7), there are no conflicts
in /proc/interrupts or /proc/ioports

Trying to connect a harddrive, both OSes complain about incorrect
partition tables.

My conclusion: There is something wrong with the secondary controller.
But as it does report at least _something_ to the OSes, I figure it might
just be some configuration thing.

The Motherbaord is a Gigabyte GA6VX7+ F5 (latest BIOS), the onboard HD
controller is a VIA Apollo Pro Chipset (VIA vt82c596b chips)

Anyone who knows how to solve this?

Thx a lot
