Hmmm. It worked the first time, but now I'm having problems with the INQUIRY command not working with the CDROM. There may be more changes required. Kevin It appears that the problem with the INQUIRY is caused by quirkiness with the cable: if I move the CDROM drive it works fine.

Attempted to install 4.6 on a ThinkPad 240 with the CDROM drive. The external IBM CDROM, PCCARD interface, did not work. Plugged PCCARD in another notebook with 4.5 and was able to get it to work by adding a missing pccard.conf entry. Fix: Add these lines to /etc/default/pccard.conf: # IBM IDE PC-CARD CDROM (ThinkPad 240 and others) card "PCMCIA" "IDE CARD" config auto "ata" ? This change allows the cdrom to be mounted and accessed. Not sure if some optional flags would improve performance, or if we want to be more/less selective in matching the CIS. How-To-Repeat: Try to use the CDROM drive.
