That means that the device file /dev/sr0 exists but your computer doesn't know what to do with it. As root, do... lsmod ...and look for ide-cd, sr_mod and cdrom in the output. If any of those aren't there, do modprobe sr_mod for example. Make sure that ide-cd, sr_mod and cdrom are added to /etc/modules.autoload. Things to look for in dmesg: SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 hdd: attached ide-scsi driver. scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices Vendor: PIONEER Model: DVD-RW DVR-105 Rev: 1.30 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 > I just noticed the following lines in dmesg: > > SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 > kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2 My guess is that one or more of those modules I mentioned above are missing here. > > Peter (thanks!) and everybody else, I need some help!!
