ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
ide-floppy driver 0.99.newide
taken in mandrake I dont know how many ide device I have I have I think 
its 2 hdd and dvd
the jumper settings on the dvd are like this
CSM
SLA
: : [:]
the cable doesnt have a hole in it either so I guess that means its 
master, I didnt have any trouble with the cd during the install of the 
RC but with the Release version I do why is that?

thanks for your help :D

cheers
