Hey, all.

I've been experiencing somewhat random, spontaneous reboots lately. I think
my power supply (i386 box) was partially fried. I've replaced the power
supply, and at the same time replaced the CD-ROM drive, which was also
somewhat fried. Hopefully the reboots will go away now...

Anyway, the trick is this: This new CD-ROM drive I got isn't seen by the
kernel. This may be because the ATAPI bus isn't seen by the kernel. My
dmesg looks like this:

wdc0 at isa0 port 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14
wd0 at wdc0 channel 0 drive 0: <SAMSUNG WU33205A (3.2GB)>
wd0: drive supports 16-sector pio transfers, lba addressing
wd0: 3090MB, 6280 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 6330240 sectors
wd0: 32-bits data port
wd0: drive supports PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, Ultra-DMA mode 2
wdc1 at isa0 port 0x170-0x177 irq 15
wd1 at wdc1 channel 0 drive 0: <Maxtor 90680D4>
wd1: drive supports 16-sector pio transfers, lba addressing
wd1: 6485MB, 13176 cyl, 16 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 13281408 sectors
wd1: 32-bits data port
wd1: drive supports PIO mode 4, DMA mode 2, Ultra-DMA mode 2

Using a pciide kernel doesn't help. Just for kicks, the 1.3.x kernel (1.3.3?)
I tried saw the CD-ROM drive. (Also, my BIOS sees it, and Windows 98 sees it.)

Thanks in advance for clues.
