CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD: Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD has multiple definitions:

Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support found in drivers/ide/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD:

Help text

If you have a CD-ROM drive using the ATAPI protocol, say Y. ATAPI is a newer protocol used by IDE CD-ROM and TAPE drives, similar to the SCSI protocol. Most new CD-ROM drives use ATAPI, including the NEC-260, Mitsumi FX400, Sony 55E, and just about all non-SCSI double(2X) or better speed drives.

If you say Y here, the CD-ROM drive will be identified at boot time along with other IDE devices, as "hdb" or "hdc", or something similar (check the boot messages with dmesg). If this is your only CD-ROM drive, you can say N to all other CD-ROM options, but be sure to say Y or M to "ISO 9660 CD-ROM file system support".

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called ide-cd.

Note that older versions of LILO (LInux LOader) cannot properly deal with IDE/ATAPI CD-ROMs, so install LILO 16 or higher, available from <ftp://brun.dyndns.org/pub/linux/lilo/>.

If you want to compile the driver as a module ( = code which can be inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want), say M here and read Documentation/modules.txt. The module will be called ide-cd.
