I cannot get the CD-ROM to be detected in the Red Hat 4.0 install 
program.  I have a 2x speed creative labs CD-ROM with Soundblaster 16 
card interface.
 
 My soundblaster card has both an IDE interface and a Panasonic
 interface....moving the ribbon cable to the IDE interface doesn't appear
 to be an option at the moment, as I tried it, and the drive wouldn't do
 anything at all, not even open the slider tray.  The parameters I try to
 use is:
 
 	sbpcd=0x230,5,SoundBlaster
 
I've also tried to use sbpcd=0x230,1 (from the module-parameters file.)

On the alternate screens, I observed the following, which occurred during 
both autoprobe and when I manually entered the parameters:

ALT-F3 view:
	/bin/insmod /bin/insmod /modules/sbpcd.o
	mounting.......
	/mnt rc=-1
	/tmp/rhimage rc=0
	Making device sbpcd (25,0) as /tmp/sbpcd
	Calling mount (/tmp/sbpcd /tmp/rhimage, iso9660, -105209791,(nil))

ALT-F4 view:
	data buffer size: 8 Frames
  |
  |
4x|
  v

	Diskinfo: SetSpeed returns -602
  |
  |
  |
~9x
  |
  v  

 	cd contains no data tracks
	!st_diskok detected - retrying (appears 3 times)

	sbp_status: failed after 3 tries
  <4>ard_request: i/o error dev 19:00 sector 64
  <4>isofs_read_super: bread failed, dev 19:00 iso_blknum 16 block 32


	This is what I saw on the two screens...again, this CD-ROM 
configuration worked with Red Hat 2.1.  I appreciate your time and prompt 
response to my inquiries.  I'm not too happy to have put my hard-earned 
money down on this and I can't even get it off the ground.
