Re: [gentoo-user] ACER Laptop: DVD/CD Combo drive not detected entirely.

[Fabien Fivaz]

So I have an "alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi" in /etc/modules.conf
and the "hdc=ide-scsi" added to the kernel line in /boot/grub/grub.conf,
but do I now have to re-initialize grub, or will it find that when
rebooting?
 

Just reboot...

The setup dialog of k3b _now_ lists the DVD combo drive as follows:

   /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/cd (0,0,0)

You won't have any /dev/hdc anymore (this is because gentoo is using 
devfs, I think). Change /etc/fstab to point your cdrom mountpoint to 
/dev/scsi...

But when I want to add this as my preferred Reader too it would tell
me "There is no additional drive at /dev/scsi/host0/bu...".
 

I don't know a lot about k3b (personaly using xcdroast). To be sure your 
scsi writer is configured try the following command

# cat /proc/scsi/scsi

You will see your CD drive, I hope !

Best wishes, Fabien
