dvd/cd-rom problem
I have a problem with a new system I built. I loaded opensuse 10.3, updated all. The problem is with the dvd/cd rom drives, they are seen when booting and when the system is up. But after awhile they disappear. I updated the motherboard bios. I've googled and I'm stuck. Any clues?

What happens when you put a known good CD or DVD into the drive, while the system is up?

Most modern distros will automatically recognize when a CD aor DVD is inserted. As a minimum, there should be a mount point already setup in /mnt or /media. If it does not automount, try--eg--"mount /media/cdrom".

The "/media/cdrom" is whatever directory on your system you want to mount it to. Make sure it exists first, or pick another one that does. |

Thanks for your suggestions but I think I'm going to wait for 11.0 and try again.

First, what is your device name? Is it /dev/dvd, /dev/cdrom, etc.?? Second, is the directory for your mount-point there? If you've got several CD or DVD drives, you have to specify the one with the disk in it. Also, are these IDE drives? Since they're 'disappearing', have you checked to see if the drives are set up correctly? The master/slave jumpers are in the right places? Have you tried only plugging in one CD drive, to see what happens then? |
I seem to be having a similar issue but I might have some more information.
The following is what showed up in /var/log/messages after the drive disappeared (in the middle of ripping a cd I should add). Code:
May 5 18:31:30 red kernel: ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x2 frozen Linux red 2.6.22.17-0.1-default #1 SMP 2008/02/10 20:01:04 UTC x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Oh, and the single/only drive is a Samsung Writemaster that is actually using sata which I don't understand seeing the above but I built it myself so I know that's what it is. Meh, what do I know, I've only spent a few weeks trying to fix this. |
I just forced the same error, the error was exactly the same as my last post.

I get this in /var/log/message

Sense: No additional sense information It's very frustrating. The drives show up in the bios correctly.They also work on that other os, m$. They are dvd-ram drives by lite-on. |
