I have an HP cd writer 9100b. I haven't trieed burning something yet in gentoo (processor died, waiting for a new one) and what annoys me is this. In RH 7.2 I couldn't get UT installation to detect my cdrom mounted. In mandrake it worked fine, but i could get mandrake working out of the box. I had to recompile Rh 7.2. WEll the problems coming up again in gentoo and it's quite annoying if i don't say so myself. DO I have to compile special things to get it working? I enabled scsi support, and the scsi extensions or something like that. Anyone have any idea?

Compiling a scsi- and scsi-misc-aware kernel is most of the work... Just don't forget to add boot option:
/dev/hdc=ide-scsi

Where hdc is replaced with whichever IDE device your burner happens to be on your system.

and ide-scsi, scsi-misc and scsi-cdrom, everything is autodetected then, works really well, no need to mess up with boot parameters

I've always had to use the boot parameters. My LG never gets autodected, no matter which distro I'm using.

yes I needed this boot parameter hdc=ide-scsi to be able burn CD. btw what is UT? If you are using X-cdroast (great one) dont forget to run it with -n optio, otherwise you'll get trouble with wrong version of cdrecords.
