Hello Willie, |
| 10 |
Sorry for the delay, working for a living often gets |
| 11 |
in the way managing my gentoo systems...... |

In /dev/ I see these only: |
| 28 |
cdrom |
| 29 |
cdrom1 <there is an older cd also in the machine> |
| 30 |
cdrw1 |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
grepping dmeg I see: |
| 33 |
hdb: CD-ROM TW 120D, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive |
| 34 |
scsi 2:0:0:0: CD-ROM PLEXTOR DVDR PX-755A 1.04 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Obviously, I do not have the SATA drive set up correctly. |
| 37 |
I'm not sure where udev ends and what I have to do with |
| 38 |
custom rules or other configs to set up this drive |
| 39 |
under 2.6.20-gentoo-r8. Looking in the kernel everything |
| 40 |
that looks like what I need for SATA is there, but, I'm |
| 41 |
inexperienced with setting up SATA based drives and peripherals.... |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
I do vaguely remember something about SATA/SCSI devices |
| 44 |
changes, bur, really, I've never had this dvd reading or writing |
| 45 |
working on this drive, since it was set up on the amd64 |
| 46 |
last January. |

|

ideas? |
