(/dev/dvd) Hello Willie, Sorry for the delay, working for a living often gets in the way managing my gentoo systems...... > what does 'ls -l /dev/dvd' show? ls: cannot access /dev/dvd: No such file or directory > can your user read /dev/dvd?

In /dev/ I see these only: cdrom cdrom1 <there is an older cd also in the machine> cdrw1 grepping dmeg I see: hdb: CD-ROM TW 120D, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive scsi 2:0:0:0: CD-ROM PLEXTOR DVDR PX-755A 1.04 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 Obviously, I do not have the SATA drive set up correctly. I'm not sure where udev ends and what I have to do with custom rules or other configs to set up this drive under 2.6.20-gentoo-r8. Looking in the kernel everything that looks like what I need for SATA is there, but, I'm inexperienced with setting up SATA based drives and peripherals.... I do vaguely remember something about SATA/SCSI devices changes, bur, really, I've never had this dvd reading or writing working on this drive, since it was set up on the amd64 last January. ideas?
