1 Hi, everybody,

3 I've got the problem fixed. In my kernel config, I'd forgotten to
4 include a driver for my VIA "low speed" IDE controller. I've put that
5 in, and I can now read CDs/DVDs (and probably burn them too).

8 I've ranted about in other posts.

10 Thanks indeed to everybody who helped me get sorted!
