Hello
I recently installed Gentoo Linux  My system recognizes one of my CDROM drives, but not my other (CDRW) drive. Help! What should I do?

Hello,
just locate the file /etc/devfsd.conf
Search the section listing the cdrw device:
| Code: |
# Create /dev/cdrw for the first cdrom on the scsi bus
# (change 'sr0' to suite your setup)
LOOKUP ^cdrw$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink sr1 cdrw
REGISTER ^sr1$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL mksymlink $devname cdrw
UNREGISTER ^sr1$ CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink cdrw
|
Because I have SCSI and my CDRW is the second drive my device chain the device is called sr1. You should change this to your correct device. Also you should add this device into your fstab. My entry is:
| Code: |
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,user,exec,ro 0 0
|
Other things you should check for burning: Kernel support SCSI Emulation, if you own a IDE CDRW.
Hope that helps.
