The subject pretty much says it. I have an IDE DVD-RW drive in my box but I can't use it.

I know the drive works because I can boot off of it, but in Gentoo I get no indication that the drive exists; there are no /dev/sr* devices and fdisk -l doesn't list it. There's nothing in dmesg that seems to be talking about my drive.

I've followed the advice of a couple of other posts like this, I have CONFIG_PATA_AMD enabled in my kernel and I'm passing all-generic-ide as a kernel boot argument. Other than that, most of the advice I can find on google about getting optical drives working under Linux seems to be old and outdated.

Any suggestions/ideas wise internet people?

here is my .config

Definitely don't do that.

Lets start with 'lspci -k'.

VoidMage,

I had an similar trouble (see https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6398365-highlight-.html#6398365). The short answer is :

Code:
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI=m
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_SHPC=m

Thanks for the replies :)

I tried setting
Code:

CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI=y
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_SHPC=y

but to no avail.

lspci -k gives

So by the looks of it I don't have a driver for the JMicron IDE controller. I searched in menuconfig for JMicron and JMB368 but couldn't find anything.

Edit: Aha! Spoke too soon. CONFIG_PATA_JMICRON fixed all my woes. Weird, I didn't think PATA and IDE were related.
