I resume this thread because I read ofthings like that ("/dev/sr0 has
disappeared" thread):
"> You need to enable this to make CONFIG_PATA_JMICRON visible.
... THAT's what happened to it !! This is the change in 2.6.29
(it could have been in 2.6.26-8 , which I didn't install).
So having enabled these two options, I now get /dev/sr0
& can read & write (at least blank) a CD again.
This is another trap in configuring a new kernel,
ie some needed option is moved &/or needs another enabled to see it.
Another trap I ran into briefly was a field needing a string,
which looks as if all it needs is 'y/n' (also in 2.6.29)."
So, what kind of traps like that should I expect?
cheers,
