Hello,

I'm now using Linux debian 2.6.32-3-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 24 18:07:42 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux but I'm still not able to read DVDs or CDs. The media and the hardware that I'm using *works* without problem in windows and mac osx.


Besides upgrading my kernel, I also changed some things in fstab so that my fstab now looks like:
root@debian:/home/stuckey# cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a

# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#

mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,

Check the sata/ide cable (reassure into the connectors ends) and if is
even suitable for you, replace it with with another one.

Is this a data or audio CD (audio CDs can't be mounted, only played)? Is
it possible to test with another OS on the same hardware?

Hello,

As I've already said, it works in windows and mac. I'll try changing the cable, but since it works in windows and mac I doubt the cable is at fault. I've tried audio and data cds and DVDs.

It may or may not help, but normally my dvd drive is sr0, but I checked
and today it's scd0, I checked both data and dvd movie and it's working,
so maybe try a change in fstab and see if it will work of course you may
need to reboot after the change:

Two weeks ago, I reported a similar issue (in this case dmesg didn't give any output) [1]. My cdrom went to dead [2], but after resurrected.

We have at least 3 lg cdrom writters which have problems reading cds inside debian, but our machines boot fine from these cds.

As another poster pointed, the device could be wrongly picked up.
Also, I'm not sure for udf, made on win. Best bet would be to
mount it by the hand, trying all devices out. Further, helps to use
dvd/cd that worked as a charm previously.
Do you noticed any change in /dev directory after inserting op-
tical media in the device?
Best regards

Zoran

Sometimes I'll get "mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0" or it will mount, or it will give me the other error message I posted.

I just put a disc in, tried to mount it three times, and got three different results. Now it is mounted and /dev looks like http://paste.debian.net/73572/


Now I've taken the disc out and dev looks like: http://paste.debian.net/73573/

They look the same to me.

Do you have Debian, Mac OS X and Windows installed on this machine?
This is only a test to exclude a problem specific to this machine, even
if the DVD drive works in another machine.

Whenever I have problem with reading/writing to dvd/cd
device, it ends replacing the drive. And drives are
cheaper and cheaper and last shorter and shorter. If
you have fond to buy new one, now it is the time to do
that. At least, I would do.
