It seems that Gentoo this time around can't detect my cdrom drive. I looked in /dev/cdroms/ and there is nothing in there neither. It had worked in my first Gentoo install.
I do not know what could be wrong. Is there a way to get the cdrom drive to work without rebooting? It's a HP CD Writer 9100b. |

| Do you have the scsi modules loaded? If you have it properly set up as a scsi it would be in /dev/scsi/... |

/dev/scsi/ is empty as well.
edit: Hmm, it seems the append="hdc=ide-scsi" line in my lilo.conf file screwed around with my devices, I took it out and my cdrom drive is now working. Co-incidently, I forgot to add ide-scsi to my modules.autoload file, I am guessing that is why it interferred. |

Did you have a corresponding file in /etc/modules.d/ to go with your append="hdc=ide-scsi" line? Here's what mine looks like:
| Code: |
praxxus@aves praxxus $ cat /etc/modules.d/cd-rw
options ide-cd ignore=hdc # tell the ide-cd module to ignore hdc
alias cdrom sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd0
#pre-install ide-scsi modprobe imm # uncomment for some ZIP drives only
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sr_mod
