Check that "Experimental " is enabled under "Code Maturity level options",
if you can't find it try using "make menuconfig" instead of "make xconfig"
Note that the UDF-write support option is listed as "Dangerous"... possibly
making things difficult, but then again if you have a DVD-RAM,
how bad can things be :)

Cheers,

Jeremy
