Subject: ATA driver/ATAPI CD/latest kernel
Date: Fri, 8 Dec 1995 05:05:51 -0500

Has anyone got a fully boddled kernel running on a machine with one 
IDE controller supporting an ATA disk, and an ATAPI CD-ROM? I suspect 
there is an assumption that they are on different controllers; I get 
words to the following effect

ata0: cmd = 0xfe status = 0xff
atapi1:panic wait busy

during kernel initialisation. If I unplug the CD, everything works 
fine.
