 Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 6:54 pm Post subject: gentoo doesnt recognize my dvd drive [SOLVED] |
 |
|
i cant get my dvd drive detected, i think its not a problem of udev, because it doesnt appear in /sys/block nor in the dmesg log.
its ATAPI DVD A DH20A4P ATA and its connected in the first slot as master.
it works with Windows and even with the gentoo liveCD, so i think is probably kernel configuration, but after trying lots of different options i cant get it to work.
here is my /proc/config.gz
and /var/log/dmesg
thank you

Hi,
Do you have the drive in /dev/* ?
Regards,
Maxime

What motherboard do you have? Run lspci to get more information of what IDE devices you have?
Typically newer SATA boards have a separate chip to handle PATA devices, and perhaps you don't have the driver compiled. I've seen a lot of boards with JMicron PATA chips... but this is board dependent.
Oh and one more thing, it should be fine to use just the libata or just the pata drivers. It looked like you were compiling both into the kernel... With just the libata drivers you should just see /dev/sd* for your disks and /dev/sr* for your opticals.

CONFIG_SATA_NV is not set?
(Also see above for note about multiple IDE subsystems compiled in)

Post your /etc/fstab file and the results of lspci -n and cat /proc/cpuinfo. I'll find the cause.
Blessed be!

Oops, sorry.
I had the same (DVD Drive not recognized).
I updated to 2.6.30 and configured it from scratch, and it worked.
Don't know exactly what I did with *.30 and what I forget with *.29, but it looks like the default options with *.30 works fine for DVD's.
Otherwise, you can try and message pappy_mcfae as he is our Kernel Guru.
[EDIT] Ah.. too late  He already answered
Regards,
Maxime

I changed the IDE drivers. While there are other issues with your kernel, for the moment, I want to make sure that things work before I get into making a new .config for you.
Click here for your new .config. Compile as is.
For the best results, please do the following:
1) Move your .config file out of your kernel source directory (/usr/src/linux- ).
2) Issue the command make mrproper. This is a destructive step. It returns the source to pristine condition. Unmoved .config files will be deleted!
3) Copy my .config into your source directory.
4) Issue the command make && make modules_install.
5) Install the kernel as you normally would, and reboot.
6) Once it boots, please post /var/log/dmesg so I can see how things loaded.
If it works out, I'll set you up with a seed kernel.
Blessed be!
Pappy
