Re: discover not finding CDROM

Apparently, _Paul Yeatman_, on 22/04/05 22:13,typed:

Hi,

I've been running Sarge with a 2.4 kernel and just decided to go up to
a 2.6 kernel.  The first and only problem I've noticed is that
"discover" isn't finding my cdrom devices (one a dvd player).  As Gnome
doesn't find and mount an inserted CD anymore, I'm assuming this is
related.

As shown with a 'dmesg', the devices are there

	hdc: OPTORITECD-RW CW5201, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
	hdd: Pioneer DVD-ROM ATAPIModel DVD-106S 010, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive

and I can manually use them as usual to read and write CD's.

This is what discover finds (or doesn't find)

	# discover cdrom
	# discover all
	Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) 746 Host
	Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) SiS963 [MuTIOL Media IO]
	Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+
	Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) 5513 [IDE]
	Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) Sound Controller
	Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) USB 1.0 Controller
	Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) USB 1.0 Controller
	Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) USB 2.0 Controller
	Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) SG86C202
	NVIDIA Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400]

I don't care so much about discover as much as that things don't
seem to be running as usual under Gnome.  CD's are not automatically
mounted when inserted, "cdrom0" is shown under the icon instead of the
actual volume name, etc.

Thanks!
If you could answer a few questions, we might narrow down where your problem really is: 
1) What are the relevant contents of /etc/fstab that you have?
2) What are the mount points that you use to access /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd?
3) Are you in the 'cdrom' group?
4) What are the permissions of /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd?
5) What are the contents of /media?
6) Do you have hal, hotplug, dbus-1, gnome-volume-manager installed? What versions?
