trying to boot frm cdrom rh7
Hi, I hve atapi cdrom on ide1 and atapi cdrw on 1de2 and hdd on ide3 all set as masters. When i try to boot frm cdrm or E: its designated letter cdrw is the drv that becmes bootable. cdrom is iomagic 40x and cdrw is plextor 8/4/32A it shows up in bios as udma33 and the cdrom doesn't. If i need another cdrom that is more compatible w/linux plez suggest brand name and model#. Mobo has udma33/66 onboard controller.

Hi Nightsky,
For a while I had a setup like yours. For some reason Linux will give preference to CDR's over a CDROM. I suspect it does this because a CDR is run with SCSI Emulation, and Linux prefers SCSI over IDE. You shouldn't need a different CDROM. I would simply switch the two around and boot off the CDR. That's what I do. Make the CDR Master, and the CDROM Slave. OOPS!
