I have been trying to install my CDRW drive info Gentoo...
I was told to compile as modules the SCSI support, SCSI emulation, SCSI CDROM support and SCSI generic support.
After doing that i and recompiling the kernel, i emerged cdrtools, and tried
# cdrecord -scanbus
This shoudl have returned the info for my drive, as it shoudl be SCSI emulated, to work.
When is lsmod, both ide-cd and ide-scsi are in, and the ide-cd is above ide-scsi - as this article said it should.
When i run cdrecord -scanbus i get:
bash-2.05b# cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 2.01a14 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2003 Jörg Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.
I am asl having probelms mounting the drives. This si the contents of my fstab:

The DVD drive (cdrom0) works and plays DVD's through xine no probs, but i cannot get them mounted as i don;t really know how and all my stabs in the dark and searching haven't turned up much...
There are entries for them in the /dev. This is the last little annoyign thingo do - so far it was all gone well, and i am on the steepest linux learnming curve ever...
Having gone from 5 months on MDK to getting Gentoo working - I am beginning to understand more about linux and getting it working, instead of having GUI's doing everything for me.
Anway - i digress - can I have some help and suggestions plz...
Cheers
