My DVD-ROM recently stopped working. Unfortunately it happened while I was in the process of making several modifications (downloaded and recompiled kernel source, Installed VMware 3.2.1, several program installs, etc.) and I don't know exactly when the DVD-ROM stopped working. I have tried switching back to the original kernel, removing VMware and the other applications I have installed recently, turning off supermount, etc. but it still doesn't work. I don't get any error messages, the drive access light blinks and it simply acts like there are no files on the disk.
I've checked some of the log files and the only thing I've seen remotely related is the following rather unhelpful message in /var/log/messages: kernel: cdrom: open failed. I suppose that it is possible that I may have forgotten a module in the kernel config or something, but my CD-RW drive seems to work fine. Can anyone suggest what may be a problem with this, or what I may do to further troubleshoot this issue? Thanks in advance.
