This might be a long shot but I had a similar issue on my gentoo box when I upgraded to a 2.6.25 kernel.<BR>
<BR>
My IDE controller is unsupported so I have to tell the kernel to use the generic ide driver. I do this with the following kernel option in grub:<BR>
<BR>
all-generic-ide<BR>
<BR>
The 2.6.25 kernel changes the above option to:<BR>
<BR>
ide-pci-generic.all-generic-ide<BR>
<BR>
When I installed the 2.6.25 kernel and rebooted everything worked (including booting from the cdrom which is handled by the bios) but the machine would fail to find the cdrom.<BR>
