Which reminds me: few weeks ago I was trying to get gentoo (tried both vanilla-kernel & gentoo-kernel) to recognize my firewire DVD/CDRW attached to a Dell laptop. Only thing that did the trick was to put sbp2 in the /etc/modules.autoload and then put into /etc/conf.d/local.start: rmmod sbp2; sleep 3; modprobe sbp2; sleep 3; echo "scsi add-single-device 0 0 0 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi; modprobe sr_mod; Because when the module was inserted by the bootscripts (because of its presence in /etc/modules.autoload), it always resulted in sth. along the lines of "sbp2: Error logging into SBP2-device - login failed". Anybody know of a better trick?
