I remember reading that much of the CDrom et al support now uses the scsi subsystem, but have not remembered enough. I would appreciate answers to the following specific questions.
I have a dell insprion 6400 laptop. Using lshw I find that the ide interface contains ATA disk Hitachi HTS72101 /dev/sda bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0.0.0 * Am I correct in believing that I should configure SCSI disk support? * Does it also require ATA/atapi support? DVD writer DVD+-RW TS-L632D /dev/cdrom1 /dev/dvd1 /dev/scd0 /dev/sr0 bus info: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0.0.0 * Am I correct in believing that I need scsi CDROM and scsi GENERIC? * Are any other kernel options needed to support the dvd and writing? * Do I need atapi support? lshw confirms that I have no scsi controller * Am I correct in believing that I need no scsi low level driver? lshw confirms that I have an intel 82801G (ICH7) * Am I correct in believing that I need CONFIG_ATA_PIIX? Thanks in advance for the help, allan -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
