I'm not familiar with an ASUS laptop, but I know that a Sony VAIO has |
2 |
a firewire bus for the cdrom. You might want to check to see if your |
3 |
cdrom is firewire or IDE. When you use your gentoo boot CD, try lsmod |
4 |
and see if it is loading any special firewire drivers. This might can |
5 |
help you find out. |
