Further to my earlier report, I have got 2.6.25 to work again after enabling 'evdev' & have just successfully written System Rescue 1.2.0 using it.
I also compiled 2.6.29-r4 -- the latest in Gentoo testing -- & enabled the alternative IDE mode without anything changing. I also recompiled Udev Dbus & Hal without any improvement. Kernel 2.6.29 is simply not creating a device for the CD drive. There is a thread on the Forum during the last few days, but it's like a conversation in a high-school cafeteria (smile) & nothing has been resolved: others don't get /dev/sr0 either. Comments still welcome (I've sent output to a helper off the list). -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
