There is nothing in dmesg about the drive, but the system has been up a while. Is there some way I can query for the cdrom drive information? I found this in /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info, if it means anything: CD-ROM information, Id: cdrom.c 3.20 2003/12/17 drive name: sr0 drive speed: 32 drive # of slots: 1 Can close tray: 1 Can open tray: 1 Can lock tray: 1 Can change speed: 1 Can select disk: 0 Can read multisession: 1 Can read MCN: 1 Reports media changed: 1 Can play audio: 1 Can write CD-R: 0 Can write CD-RW: 0 Can read DVD: 0 Can write DVD-R: 0 Can write DVD-RAM: 0 Can read MRW: 1 Can write MRW: 1 Can write RAM: 1 # hdparm /dev/sr0 /dev/sr0: HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Input/output error IO_support = 0 (default) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) HDIO_GETGEO failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device # hdparm -I /dev/sr0: HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Input/output error I'll have to shutdown to refresh dmesg, or maybe open up the case and have a look.
