Re: Strange kernel issue with DVD drive -- or CD/CDR?

[PMA <PeterArmstrong@aya.yale.edu>]

Hi List.

This reminds me to ask: has Squeeze any history of disabling CD/CDR
drives?

The first time I tried mine after (some weeks after) installing Squeeze,
one drive sounded "bump" and blinked -- as thought trying to eject --
but couldn't open, and then gave up.

Now both drives act that way.  Of course, they could just be shot, but
I thought I'd field this question before ordering replacements.

Thanks for any response.
Pete
