[HLUG] CD-Writer not detected

[Emon]

Hi all

I am a newbie running Slackware10.2. 
I just installed Slackware10.2 on my friend's PC. I also custom
compiled the kernel(2.6.13) for him. The problem is, he has got
a CD-Writer(IDE) and a CD-Drive(IDE), but only the CD-Drive is
listed in the /etc/fstab, the CD-Write is nowhere to be found!!
So what should I do to make Slackware detect the CD-Writer, and
do I need to have any particular kernel option enabled??

Thanks
Emon
