hey guys.

whats the module i have to modporbe to get ide CD drives to show up in /dev/ ?

i have IDE cd-roms attached to secondry slave, and secondry master.

i know my kernel supports them, but they dont seem to be there.

or is my problem the /dev/make_devices script ?

if i do need a kernel module, i cant find it

im using the same kernel version and config i used to compile for slackware 10, which worked perfectly...

(ohh, forgot to mention, im working on a little known distro called LFS)

hdc and hdd apear to be detected correctly.
the driver is compiled into the kernel (not as a module)

i cant work out whats wrong

ahh, the cd section was hashed out in my dake_devices script.
i unhashed and re-ran it.
