This appears to be a missing kernel >option. Hm. Neil, you're right. From the OP though: <*> SCSI CDROM support which is CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR which is sr_mod which provides /dev/sr*. So he has sr_mod built into the kernel. No module to load. Should not compile without the requires. Hm. Maybe a missing chipset-driver like pata_atiixp as I use? Or systemd-udev etc. is hiccupping, so the kernel (sr_mod) provides the dev "per se" but there's no /dev/sr* device-node created, so let's start at the "bottom" and have a look at dmesg and some stuff ... @allan gottlieb: - how is that drive connected? - Please mail the outputs of lsmod lspci lsscsi | grep -E 'cd|process' hwinfo --cdrom (the latter is from sys-apps/hwinfo) all run as root. Oh, and please also paste the output of zgrep -F -e ATA -e SCSI /proc/config.gz or grep -F -e ATA -e SCSI /boot/config-`uname -r` or grep -F -e ATA -e SCSI /usr/src/linux/.config whatever matches your kernel best ;) And capture the output of 'dmesg' for pasting to e.g. pastebin.org[0], or better e.g. just the output of dmesg | grep -Ei 'ata|sr|scd|scsi' and/or mail the complete dmesg output just via PM to me (or Neil??) to filter out and quote what's relevant (there might be stuff related not captured by the 'grep -Ei'), no need to blast all that over the 'net. -dnh [0] has gentoo.org a "paste" service for such stuff?
