I'm trying to boot from an XUbuntu 9.10 CD on an old Sony VAIO Z600.
The special thing about this laptop is that the CD-ROM drive is actually a
drive connected to a PCMCIA card.
With the old ide subsystem, you had to pass `ide2=0x180,0x386' on the
kernel command line to make install CDs find the CD-ROM drive. Recent
distros use the new ata subsystem, hence this doesn't work anymore.
Does there exist an equivalent for the new ata subsystem?
Thanks in advance!
