Hm. Neil, you're right. From the OP though: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
<*> SCSI CDROM support |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
which is CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR which is sr_mod which provides /dev/sr*. So |
| 26 |
he has sr_mod built into the kernel. No module to load. Should not |
| 27 |
compile without the requires. Hm. Maybe a missing chipset-driver like |
| 28 |
pata_atiixp as I use? |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Or systemd-udev etc. is hiccupping, so the kernel (sr_mod) provides |
| 31 |
the dev "per se" but there's no /dev/sr* device-node created, so let's |
| 32 |
start at the "bottom" and have a look at dmesg and some stuff ... |
| 33 |

@allan gottlieb: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
- how is that drive connected? |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
- Please mail the outputs of |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
lsmod |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
lspci |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
lsscsi | grep -E 'cd|process' |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
hwinfo --cdrom |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
(the latter is from sys-apps/hwinfo) all run as root. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Oh, and please also paste the output of |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
zgrep -F -e ATA -e SCSI /proc/config.gz |
| 53 |
or |
| 54 |
grep -F -e ATA -e SCSI /boot/config-`uname -r` |
| 55 |
or |
| 56 |
grep -F -e ATA -e SCSI /usr/src/linux/.config |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
whatever matches your kernel best ;) |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
And capture the output of 'dmesg' for pasting to e.g. pastebin.org[0], |
| 61 |
or better e.g. just the output of |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
dmesg | grep -Ei 'ata|sr|scd|scsi' |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
and/or mail the complete dmesg output just via PM to me (or Neil??) to |
| 66 |
filter out and quote what's relevant (there might be stuff related not |
| 67 |
captured by the 'grep -Ei'), no need to blast all that over the 'net. |

[0] has gentoo.org a "paste" service for such stuff? (I'm just lazy) |
