I have tried a whole bunch of things to get my AOPEN justlink burner to work under gentoo.

I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with this type of burner and if they have what did they do.

What errors are you getting? Can you burn the disc, but just not read it?

I am unable to get my burner to be mountable in KDE, or even via command prompt. I can use cdrecord -scanbus etc. and that works fine. Does any one know the proper settings to get a burner to work, besides standard hdc=ide-scsi, and generic scsi support? I am mainly looking for what /dev/ is it using, ie sr0, and also what sr0 is ln to.

take a look at your /ect/devfsd.conf, there are some lines you uncomment that creates a cdrw device. Also, makle sure your user is added to the cdrw group...

Mine mysteriously worked this morning, I think it is because I re-compiled the kernel last night, I did a emerge gentoo-sources, cd /usr/src/linux make clean make mrproper, and then set everything up, I guess I did not have scsi cdrom support and device specific.
