CD-ROM Module Parameters

Please Note: Not all of the cards that are listed are supported. Please check the hardware compatibility list on Red Hat's World Wide Web site at http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/hardware.html to make sure your card is supported.

One of the more commonly used parameters, the hdX=cdrom parameter, can be entered at the boot prompt, as it deals with support for IDE/ATAPI CD-ROMs, which is part of the kernel.

In the tables below, most modules without any parameters listed are either able to auto-probe to find the hardware, or require you to manually change settings in the module source code, and recompile.

Table B-1. Hardware Parameters

Hardware	Module	Parameters
ATAPI/IDE CD-ROM Drives		hdX=cdrom
Aztech CD268-01A, Orchid CD-3110, Okano/Wearnes CDD110, Conrad TXC, CyCDROM CR520, CyCDROM CR540 (non-IDE)	`aztcd.o`	aztcd=io_port
Sony CDU 31A or 33A CD-ROM	`cdu31a.o`	cdu31a=io_port,IRQ[,PAS] cdu31a_port=base_addr cdu31a_irq=irq
Philips/LMS CDROM drive 206 with cm260 host adapter card	`cm206.o`	cm206=io_port,IRQ
Goldstar R420 CD-ROM	`gscd.o`	gscd=io_port
ISP16, MAD16, or Mozart sound card CD-ROM interface (OPTi 82C928 and OPTi 82C929) with Sanyo/Panasonic, Sony, or Mitsumi drives	`isp16.o`	isp16=io_port, IRQ, dma,drive_type isp16_cdrom_base=io_port isp16_cdrom_irq=IRQ isp16_cdrom_dma=dma isp16_cdrom_type= drive_type
Mitsumi CD-ROM, Standard	`mcd.o`	mcd=io_port,IRQ
Mitsumi CD-ROM, Experimental	`mcdx.o`	mcdx=io_port_1, IRQ_1, io_port_n, IRQ_n
Optics storage 8000 AT CD-ROM "Dolphin" drive; Lasermate CR328A	`optcd.o`	optcd=io_port
SB Pro 16 compatible	`sbpcd.o`	sbpcd=io_port,sb_pro_Setting
Sanyo CDR-H94A	`sjcd.o`	sjcd=io_port sjcd_base=io_port
Sony CDU-535 & 531 (some Procomm drives)	`sonycd535.o`	sonycd535=io_port

Here are some examples of these modules in use:

Table B-2. Hardware Parameters Configuration Examples

Configuration	Example
ATAPI CD-ROM, jumpered as master on 2nd IDE channel	hdc=cdrom
non-IDE Mitsumi CD-ROM on port 340, IRQ 11	mcd=0x340,11
Three non-IDE Mitsumi CD-ROM drives using the experimental driver, io ports 300, 304, and 320 with IRQs 5, 10 and 11	mcdx=0x300,5,0x304,10,0x320,11
Sony CDU 31 or 33 at port 340, no IRQ	cdu31=0x340,0 cdu31_port=0x340 cdu31a_irq=0
Aztech CD-ROM at port 220	aztcd=0x220
Panasonic-type CD-ROM on a SoundBlaster interface at port 220	sbpcd=0x230,1
Phillips/LMS cm206 and cm260 at IO 340 and IRQ 11	cm206=0x340,11
Goldstar R420 at IO 300	gscd=0x300
Mitsumi drive on a MAD16 soundcard at IO Addr 330 and IRQ 1, probing DMA	isp16=0x330,11,0,Mitsumi
Sony CDU 531 at IO address 320	sonycd535=0x320

Please Note: Most newer Sound Blaster cards come with IDE interfaces. For these cards, you do not need to use sbpcd parameters, only use hdx parameters.
