If the discs and drives work on the same machine with a different distro, |
| 16 |
then I agree, the hardware should work. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Also, as the /dev/ entries exist and it doesn't complain about that, the |
| 19 |
drives are probably detected correctly. |

Can you also check with datadiscs on the Gentoo installation? |
| 27 |
I agree with the others that audio-discs are generally not mountable. |
| 28 |
The FUSE-driver for Audio-discs might be installed on your other distro |
| 29 |
(Redhat?), but is not installed by default with Gentoo. |

When I do the above command, it only shows me the cd/dvd writer, not the |
| 41 |
cdrom drive. |
| 42 |
Can you post the full output of "dmesg" after you booted the system? |

Can you also give us the contents of your "/etc/fstab" file? |
| 48 |
