Try disconnecting the second CD-ROM drive and see whether it runs better without it. As it may be conflicting with the CD-RW. I'm running the same type of MSI board and it working flawlessly with that kernel. But then I only have one CD-RW connected to the secondary IDE channel.

Using Linux 2.4.20-13.9 Using a Memorex 52MAXX 2452AJ CDRW Using MSI KT266A mainboard If I use the standard CD the kernel does not miss the interrupt. CD-ROM 48X/AKU Both CD's are ide-scsi. What kernel version works with my configuration? Should I go back in kernel versions?
