Re: ide cdrom device driver.

[Erik Andersen]

This is a known problem in ide-cd that has been there a _long_ time, but
has really only been revealed recently, due to the changes in cdrom.c that
are now asking ide-cd to behave the right way (which it doesn't do).
Anyway, I am out of town on business right now, so I don't have access to
my Linux box, and I am working horrible hours.  This problem probably
won't be fixed until I get time off for the Christmas vacation, unless
some kind soul wants to volunteer to fix ide-cd for me.
