[gentoo-user] Non-deprecated Kernel support for ATA CDROM?

[Grant Edwards]

I've noticed that for quite some time now that ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL
support been shown as deprecated when configuring a kernel.
Unfortunately, that support is the only way I've never been able to
get ATAPI CDROMs to work.

Are we all supposed to rip out the drives and replace them with SATA
CDROM drives?

I get the impression that "Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers"
section is supposed to support ATAPI CDROM drives, but I've never been
ble to get that to work.

What am I missing?
