cdrom and dvd-rom just stopped working...


this is the first time anything like this has ever happened to me. today when i tried to mount my dvd drive to watch a movie, all i get is:

Code:
~$ mount /dvd
mount: /dev/scd1 is not a valid block device
and i've tried everything i know ( not that 'everything i know' is really that much ), and i can't get this figured out. here's all the info i have:

Code:
~$ dmesg | grep hd
Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=Dragon ro root=342 apm=on hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi
ide_setup: hdc=ide-scsi
ide_setup: hdd=ide-scsi
hda: Maxtor 32049H2, ATA DISK drive
hdb: WDC WD800JB-00CRA1, ATA DISK drive
hdc: CW058D ATAPI CD-R/RW, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdd: HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8162B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive


----------------

~$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>               <dump>  <pass>
/dev/hdb2       /               ext2    errors=remount-ro       0       1
/dev/hdb1       none            swap    sw                      0       0
proc            /proc           proc    defaults                0       0
/dev/fd0        /floppy         auto    user,noauto             0       0
/dev/scd0       /cdrom          iso9660 ro,users,noauto         0       0
/dev/scd1       /dvd                    iso9660 ro,users,noatuo    0 0
/dev/hda2       /home   ext2    defaults                        0       2
/dev/hda1       /boot   ext2    defaults                        0       2
/dev/sda1 /mnt/mp3 umsdos rw,users,noauto 0 0
the only thing that i've done since the last time the two drives were working was to change the X config file ( i added an entry to have a tv as a second monitor )
