I assume that you are using the mcd driver; if you are using the mcdx
driver, please let me know and I'll look into that.
"mcd=0x330,10" is *supposed* to work according to the driver sources.
You need to enter that not at boot time, but when you are asked for
arguments when you specify the cdrom type (I would guess you are
doing that right, but just in case I thought I'd mention it, because
several people have made that perfectly reasonable mistake...)
However, try this instead: "mcd=0x330 mcd_irq=10"
It *should* be equivalent.
We don't have a mitsumi drive to test this on, so I have to rely
on users to test this for me. Please let me know whether or not
either works for you, and if it does work, please tell me which
one works. Once we know for sure what the problem and solution
are, we'll be sure to let everyone know.
