Please, how to get my DVD working?! I compiled all possible drivers as modules, but can't see any /dev/hd*.

Please give the output of the following command:

Code: Select all

/sbin/lspci | grep 'IDE interface'

(You may need to install the pciutils package if you do not have this file yet.)

This will tell us the make/model of your IDE controller, so that we can help you install and/or configure it appropriately.

You may want to have a look at this thread: [topic=691990]Marvell 88SE6111 IDE Problems[/topic]

I was not patient enough & bought a SATA DVD drive (I was upgrading my system anyway) and am very happy since then with my setup

That output is in the topic title!
03:00.0 IDE interface: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 6121 (rev b1)

Ah, but I see a long thread about it! Well, thanks, but it looks like there is no mainline kernel support for it in 2.6.24.. Latest tuxonice sources! It is supported in newer gentoo-sources, so I just have to wait. Don't want to waste time with it.

As you wish

Oh, no.
Mistake. There is no support for that thing in gentoo-sources....

I am ready to waste my time now. Ah... To be continued.
