<strong><p>Hi
</p></strong>
<strong><p>As I read your answer book for this question in LG Issue 31
"Win '95 Hesitates After Box Has Run Linux?"
</p></strong>
<strong><p>I have to say I had (and still have) similar problem - I have one
HARD HD (6.5MB hda) and 1 mobile (1.5MB hdb) HD and 16xWearnesCDROM
(hdd)
</p></strong>
<blockquote><img src="../gx/dennis/bbub.gif" height="28" width="50"
alt="(!)" border="0"
>It is odd that your Wearnes/ATAPI CDROM is accessed as
/dev/hdd --- if it was the "master" or "standalone" on
the second IDE channel I'd expect to see it as /dev/hdc
</blockquote>
<blockquote>Perhaps it would work better if you reconfiged the CDROM
(changed to to "master" or "standalone" mode).
</blockquote>
<strong><p><img src="../gx/dennis/qbub.gif" height="28" width="50"
alt="(?)" border="0"
>When my computer goes up and I run WIN95 from the begining I can
access CDROM normaly, but when I run Linux before windows and don't
push RESET button W95 can't locate CDROM and it also takes some time
for W95 to figure this out (about 10-15sec) but linux can access
CDROM always. I have tryied all combination of reboot=cold,bios
... as kernel boot parameters, but it was no good. (I'm quite
experienced linux user, but this is probably some HW magic)
</p></strong>
<strong><p>But I can easily live with this problem as I run W95 rarelly and
pressing the reset button is not that big problem.
</p></strong>
<strong><p>I suppose the problem will be with the combination: board &amp; W95 &amp;
CDROM - something in HW setup - for a few days I had connected
32xSamsung CDROM to the same computer and there were NO such
problems - the only problem was toooo big noice from my computer and
I hate this - so I rather bought the 16x - anyway I don't have
UltraDMA board so the reading speed on my computer is the same
(~2.4MB/s)
</p></strong>
<blockquote><img src="../gx/dennis/bbub.gif" height="28" width="50"
alt="(!)" border="0"
>It is an interesting anomaly. As you say there is an
easy workaround. I'd recommend that.
</blockquote>
<strong><p><img src="../gx/dennis/qbub.gif" height="28" width="50"
alt="(?)" border="0"
>Small advice which might be interested to other users
(those who likes silent):
</p></strong>
<strong><p>If they don't want to hear such a big noice from their computers, they
should switch power suply from 12V to 5V to the computer funs. (its cheap and about
an 1/2 hour of work) - don't know how this works in 44C
<IMG SRC="../gx/dennis/smily.gif" ALT=":)" height="24" width="20" align="middle">
but in my country with temperatures around
~30C everythings run quite well and when HD spin down my computer is
completely silent.

>While I don't like the excess noise I haven't have much
incentive to play with the fans and power supplies in my
machines.
</blockquote>
<blockquote>I've seen some people who swear that they've just disconnected
their power supply fan and left it that way for years. However,
I'm too much of a wimp to do that --- I just don't want to
have to replace those parts if this does cause them to fail.
