DVD drive AWOL
well, about a week ago we had a lovely thunderstorm
that knocked out our power and after recovering from
that my DVD burner seemed to go AWOL (that is the
device nodes just vanished)
checked syslog and no errors there, nothing on udev
documentation seemed to help, and STFW didn't help
either. i'd just reinstall but i need to get a backup
off first (which i was, ironically going to burn to
disk that evening), and i was planning on
repartitioning on the next install.
thoughts on recovering the nodes? (BIOS recognizes the
DVD drive, the old CD drive is dead but has been that
way and BIOS doesn't recognize the DVD drive as a
valid boot drive, possible the bootstrap site maybe?)
