He could use a SW7.1 kernel and modules instead, or I could compile him a 
modified small kernel to take up less RAM, based on your BL3.40 config and 
2.2.16.

Same module as the CF adaptor?

At the site I found, the person claiming to understand what was going on 
said it was NOT ide_cs.o.

Would he need to add a couple of lines to your config file for his CD-ROM

I assumed it was onboard sound, but apparently your Toshiba does not have 
that.  My pentium Toshiba has some sb/mss hybrid.

I play music on CD-ROM drives with play buttons by plugging headphones 
into the front jack, no need for sound software.
