By some irony my RH 4.0 CD-ROM finally arrived today. Before I commenced the 
install, I read my mail and saw this message. Oh Oh...  I got EXACTLY the 
same messages. My non-IDE Mitsumi is at 0x300 at IRQ 10 and works perfectly 
with RH 3.0.3. I let the install program probe, I told it the address, I told 
it the address and IRQ and always the same message: "no disk in drive". So it 
looks like I am in the '$50 coaster club' :-( . I actually only want to 
upgrade the old system, but if the kernel doesn't like my CD-ROM there is 
nothing to do.
 
CAN WE HAVE A FIX PLEASE???
