something _really_ is wrong with 2.6 series...hopefully new kernel would save me. or older.
you can't blame the kernel for your problems... it works perfect for 95% of us... the other 4% have minor problems.... if you have problems, it's most likely your configuration...
for instance:
the whole 2.6 kernel sucks, it won't play 3d anymore with my card
3d has nothing to do with the kernel... 3d support is a different module which either comes with X or the vendor (in the case of nvidia)
I have problems with usb
modprobe the correct modules.... check the newsletter of search the forums...
]]>I have not got any answer what makes my /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 and cdrom1 disappear (plus their symlinks and everything that might point to them) at boot sometimes (not every time!). taking hdX=ide-scsi worked for the first time, but now that it's off, my pc still tends to "lose" those drives once in a while if I happen to boot. and when they are back, if they are, the permissions are reseted again - with no obvious, visible reason. funny? I don't think so...I've triple checked every config file of udev, grub and kernel (and modprobe etc. etc. etc.) and everything ought to be fine. my only thought is now, that something in my kernel must be broken. or then I have some green little monsters crawling around my linux installation, doing some funky stuff...hehe
I'm waiting for a new stable (not a patch) version of the linux kernel, hoping it works. if not, then I'm afraid I'll have to downgrade to 2.6.6 or even 2.4 - the whole 2.6 kernel sucks, it won't play 3d anymore with my card, my devices are missing or not functioning, I have problems with usb and so on. I was even unable to enable framebuffer with 2.6 - made my kernel panic, no matter what I tried.

i start k3b with both drives with cds mounted and k3b detects them both !
]]>did you add your user to the optical group? there was a news release somewhere about this. .....
i instaled 0.7 beta 2
and then upgrade with:
pacman -S --refresh
pacman -S -u
but that didn't create the optical and audio groups (maybe because i had previously added slocate group manualy ? slocate package didn't add the group "slocate" to /etc/group)
then i had to add them manualy and then add root and my user to them
and that still didn't solve my problem
try to change your lilo / grub config and remove the " hdc=ide-scsi "

edit:
if that doesn't work, output
# dmesg | grep -i hdc
and
# dmesg | grep -i hdd
here...
what does your boot params look like? do you have hdc=ide-scsi and hdd=ide-scsi?
]]>i didn't make any modifications to the default kernel/udev configuration
if i can't solve this, how can i install lilo+kernel2.4 ? (it worked back then)
