The setups are so similar, yet yours doesn't work and there is nothing obviously different. All I can assume is that there is a difference between the setups which may be "Normal" to one and "non-standard" to the other and so it is not mentioned. So I have to re-examine the obvious to find the difference. I come back to my pet subject - power to the CD drive. Your previous email could be read that an external adaptor supplies power to CD drive and single "data" USB connection to the Pi. Photos of the CD drive do not show a socket for external adaptor just a Y cable. I really need a clear answer as I know from experience inadequate power to CD drive will result in erratic behaviour. IIRC The Pi3 can only supply 1.2 amp aggregated across all USB ports. The dmesg indicate a USB Hub is Can you answer the following. 1. Do you have an external USB hub attached to the Pi ? If so is the USB hub externally powered ? 2. Is the CD drive Y cable is being used with *both* connections to either Pi or maybe to a externally power Hub 3. Bluetooth is active. What is the Bluetooth used for ?
