I have 2 sata hard-drives, and 1 sata dvd-writer, all attached to the |
| 14 |
same controller (part of nvidia nforce4 southbridge). Despite of that, |
| 15 |
only hard-drive partitions are correctly detected... |

I tested gentoo-2008.0 on different computer, but again with sata-disk |
| 18 |
and sata-dvd, and this time P35-chipset (Intel). No problem! It seems |
| 19 |
to me the problem is in sata_nv module (nVidia chipset): it is loaded, |
| 20 |
but detects only disks, no cd/dvd drives. Maybe compilled without |
| 21 |
cd-filesystem support? |

FYI, I downloaded old good install-amd64-minimal-2007.0.iso, burned, |
| 24 |
booted, and gues what? All works! I'm going to open bug about it... |
