Original message:
This patch upgrades the ATAPI CD-ROM driver to version 1.3.
It has three bugs fixed:
1) The `controller not ready' message at startup and later.
It was caused by staled media change bit.
2) Incorrect shuffling of model string for some drives (NEC, Mitsumi).
3) Handling of drives which report itself as been of direct-access type,
instead of CD-ROM type.
There is one known bug which is not fixed yet -- probing
in absense of IDE disks. A work-around exists though (thanks Steve!).
If you have no IDE disks attached, then remove them from the kernel
config file to make the CD-ROM attach correctly.
Unfortunately, there is no way to disable them from the kernel
interactive config mode.
