My cd-rom drive has suddenly stopped working. Whenever I try to mount a
CD I get one of the following errors:
$ mount /cdrom
mount: No medium found
$
or
$ mount /cdrom
hdd:cdrom_decode_status: status=0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdd:cdrom_decode_status: error=0x31
$
Most of the time I get the first error, as if there were no CD in the
drive, but the CD is there. I have tried several different CD's with
the same result. If I do get the second error, it is generally right
after a reboot. I only get it once, then I get the "No medium found"
error after that.
I have checked all of the cable connections and they seem to be fine.
Does anyone have a clue what is happening? Is my cd-rom drive going
south? Any help appreciated.
