I am having quite a bit of trouble getting Linux 2.0.22 to see a Creative Labs 8x cdrom drive connected to the fourth (io=0x168,irq 10) ide interface of the SB AWE32 sound card. I have even tried different ide cdroms on this interface with no luck. The good news, though, is the cdroms can be detected on the primary and secondary ide interfaces (io=0x1f0, irq 14 and io=0x170, irq 15) and on the third and forth (io=1e8, irq 11 and io=168, irq 10) by using another ide interface card. I have tried forcing the issue with no luck and by using yet another AWE32, also with no luck. Yet Windows95 can see it just fine.
I suppose this means that the IDE interface on AWE32 sound cards are either not 100% atapi compatible or, Linux doesn't have the added support for the AWE32 ide device.
What ever the case may be, I was wondering if anyone has had experience with this issue who could point me to perhaps a kernel patch or the appropriate kernel release that would hopefully solve this problem.
Of course, I could move the cdrom to either the primary or secondary ide, but what fun would that be? And yes, I have tried reconfiguring and recompiling the kernel and using just about every command line option I could think of at the lilo prompt.
Thanks.
