Thanks a lot, I tried the parameters 
	ide1=0x386,0x180 pci=off
and it did not work. pci=off seems to have broken quite a lot (fb, 
jogdial, ...). Just leaving it away and just having ide1=0x386,0x180 
didn't help the CD-ROM drive either.

I am now compiling the 2.4.19/20/21 kernels to try to figure out, 
where it broke. I have some suspicion that it happened when ide-cs.c 
was moved to legacy from drivers/ide.

BTW, if it's legacy, what replaces it?
