What you should be seeing is something like this: ~ /sbin/cdrom_id --export /dev/hdc; echo ; /sbin/ata_id --export /dev/hdc ID_CDROM=1 ID_CDROM_CD_R=1 ID_CDROM_CD_RW=1 ID_CDROM_DVD=1 ID_CDROM_DVD_R=1 ID_CDROM_MRW=1 ID_CDROM_MRW_W=1 ID_CDROM_RAM=1 ID_TYPE=cd ID_MODEL=PIONEER_DVD-RW_DVR-110D ID_SERIAL= ID_REVISION=1.17 ID_BUS=ata Was this done after following my earlier advice to modularize your IDE system, and if so, did you load the necessary modules (modprobe ide-cd it821x)? If so, the kernel should be finding the devices. What does find /sys | grep /ide report? Can you send me your full dmesg output? Can you try removing one of the drives (hdb)? Maybe this is a hardware issue... -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I would check /lib/modules/2.6.*/kernel/drivers/ide/ first for modules to load and then look at the kernel IDE config. Justin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
