Dear Patrick. Still looking for my cdrom. If I make a fresh reboot, with or 
without the 10.3 DVD in the DVD drive I get following info when I run   
 > /usr/sbin/hwinfo | grep cdrom

  WARNING: Error inserting cdrom

I deleted some of the text which was very general and did not contain cdrom 
info.

As root I get 
# /usr/sbin/hwinfo | grep cdrom

       ide-cdrom: module = ide_cd
>> block.3: cdrom
----- /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info -----
----- /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info end -----
>> int.2: cdrom
       ide-cdrom: module = ide_cd
  cdrom 37020 2 sr_mod,ide_cd, Live 0xd941a000

The following info is also available:

lsmod |grep cdrom
cdrom                  37020  2 sr_mod,ide_cd

> ls -la /media/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 2007-12-03 19:47 .

/usr/sbin/hdwinfo --cdrom
bash: /usr/sbin/hdwinfo: No such file or directory

The last cl commnd run as user and as su.

Konqueror with sysinfo:/ gave a nice overview of my system but did not show 
any cdrom.

No idea how to get my cdrom working. There is some kind of info about the 
cdrom but I cannot seem to make use of ( ide-cdrom: module = ide_cd
  cdrom 37020 2 sr_mod,ide_cd, Live 0xd941a000) 
I know the drive exists but how to activate it, no idea. Do you see some 
solutions apart from going back to 10.2 ?   ;(
