I reconfigured the kernel and lspci now gives me this:

Since the IDE-interface is listed, I think the configuration is ok so
far...
But: There is no /dev/sr* and accordingly k3b does not find any burner
device (which is identical to the dvd-player device in my case...)

Rest of gentoo is up to date...

Where can I tweak more?

best regards,
mcc
