Hi |

I recently purchased an Asus M6 (Centrino 1.6GHz), and did not want to bother |
| 4 |
anymore with the Windoze Family stuff. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I wanted to install a modular Linux, which I could master and upgrade as I |
| 7 |
like. |
| 8 |
I earlier tried muliple other distributions (Aurox, Mandrake), but I did no |
| 9 |
longer expect to have any "straightforward" or "magic" install which was too |
| 10 |
tricky to update in future. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I downloaded Gentoo 2004.2, started from stage3 (in a first trial), and |
| 13 |
compiled a 2.6.7 kernel. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
All was Ok, I even compiled X11 and kde and ati_drivers, to try employ at |
| 16 |
best my Radeon 9700 graphics card. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
My concern is about the CD-Rom on my own (very new) linux install. |
| 19 |
When booting from the install boot CD-Rom, I have a /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 device. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
But in the /dev of my hard-disk install, there is no such entry. So when I |
| 22 |
chroot to it, I can no more see the CD-Rom device. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Maybe I missed something in the Kernel config ? This while, I followed the |
| 25 |
indications provided in the Gentoo manual concerning kernel configuration... |
| 26 |
|

Thanks by advance for your help |
