[OT] Broken CD-ROM drive
Hi folks,
sorry for being off topic, but I wouldn't know whereelse to ask ...
I think I'v managed to break my CD-ROM drive. It get's recognized
correctly by the BIOS and during kernel boot, but when I try to `mount`
a data CD, mount reports "No medium found". When I try `cdplay` on an
audio CD, it says:
# cdplay
cdplay: can't open cdrom (/dev/cdrom)
cdplay: CD status is no_disc
#
I get the following message in the kernel logs:
hdb: MATSHITA CR-583, ATAPI CDROM drive <-- drive get's
recognized
...
hdb: ATAPI 8X CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.09
cdrom: open failed. <-- oops
VFS: Disk change detected on device ide0(3,64)
cdrom: open failed.
And so on ...
So, I figure that there is something wrong with the laser or some
mechanics, since the drive get's recognized correctly. Any idea, what I
can do about it, apart from putting it into the trash?
Oh yeah, the above commands work as aspected when I put in another drive
(Mitsumi FX400), so it's not something onboard.
TIA,
Viktor
