Dear Debian experts,
I was happily using my CD and DVD drives with kernel 2.4.18
but last week I had to upgrade to 2.6.11. I did not
compile my kernel, just used apt-get install and grabbed
the latest kernel image, now my system is:
fz@debian:~$ uname -a
Linux debian 2.6.11-1-686 #1 Mon Jun 20 22:00:38 MDT 2005 i686 GNU/Linux
however it looks like I simply cannot communicate with
my CD-ROM device, let alone mounting it, writing CDs using CD writer, etc.
I tried to mount it (testing a good CD which easily mounted
under kernel 2.4) and it just stuck, hanging, not returning
to commandline. kill -9 simply didn't work, even reboot command
was not able to boot the system, I had to do a hard reset.
I tried a simple test, using the eject command which yielded:
$ eject -v
eject: using default device `cdrom'
eject: device name is `cdrom'
eject: expanded name is `/cdrom'
eject: `/cdrom' is not mounted
eject: `/dev/cdrom' can be mounted at `/cdrom'
eject: `/dev/cdrom' is not a multipartition device
eject: trying to eject `/dev/cdrom' using CD-ROM eject command
eject: CD-ROM eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/cdrom' using SCSI commands
eject: SCSI eject failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/cdrom' using floppy eject command
eject: floppy eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/cdrom' using tape offline command
eject: tape offline command failed
eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument
at the same time dmesg was saying:
ide-scsi: unsup command: dev hdb: flags = REQ_RW REQ_NOMERGE REQ_STARTED REQ_BLOCK_PC

I don't know if there is something wrong with kernel modules,
etc. I didn't touch them, I just installed nvidia module but
didn't touch any other module (consciously).
Here's my current lsmod output:

I'm stuck at the current situation.
Maybe some Debian expert can tell me to get back my
CD-ROM drivers, mount them, cdplay them, etc.
Thanks in advance.
