GACK the lack of /dev/sr0 is spurious. At the point I looked the (usb) drive was not plugged in. When plugged in we have brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 Nov 11 14:55 /dev/sr0 Very sorry about that. What is true is that when I insert a known good disk in the drive I do *not* get a media subdirectory of /run. With the old laptop with a built-in drive with the same cdrom media I have /run/media/gottlieb and a subdirectory of that directory has the contents of the drive.

(I'm just lazy) I put the entire dmesg output on my nyu website http://cs.nyu.edu/~gottlieb/dmesg thanks to all for your help and again sorry about looking for /dev/sr0 when the drive was not plugged in. allan
