that's kernel 2.0.32 :)
grep 260 in Documentation/cdrom/*
-> ide-cd has a match
in my source tree .. which is 2.1.119 but I suppose probably in your source tree
too, there is a example where in step 2.Installation, your cdromdrive happened
to be used as the most general example.
Include IDE/ATAPI CDROM support
that's what you need .
It's just a general atapi cdrom drive. Now, next time before you have kernel
questions, try to look in the Documentation dir, the answer is probably already
there, on your system.
