LinuxQuestions.org - dvd burner no longer mounts

So my dvd burner stopped mounting today. Worked fine last night, burned ISOs and such. Last thing I remember doing with it is using it to install some games with Wine 0.9.

hda is the burner
hdb is my cdrw, which works fine and mounts fine

The drive and cables are fine, works fine under windows and does a livecd just fine.

first off: dmesg

Code:

This used to have my DVD burner listed at the 0 spot.

symlinks are fine:

Code:

ls -lah /dev/hda

brw-------  1 xxxx disk 3, 0 Feb 23  2004 /dev/hda

ls -lah /dev/cdrom

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 8 Nov 16 13:47 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/hda

fstab:

Code:

/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom              udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro,unhide 0 0

/dev/cdrom1            /mnt/cdrom1            udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro,unhide 0 0

I haven't changed any code or symlinks since yesterday. It just stopped mounting. I may have had to do a forced software eject, but i don't think i did.

I really have no clue where to go from here. There is a cdrom in the drive when I try to mount it. That cdrom mounts fine with my other drive. I could try reinstalling wine, but there is no process running that could be stealing my cdrom. I've rebooted many times.

thanks for any ideas.
