Hi Y'all
I've been using XCDroast for burning music CDs for the last 3 years or so and found it a brilliant program to use. However, in the last couple of days it has been unable to read CDs, telling me that there is no CD in the drive. At first, I thought that maybe the CDRW hardware was f***d
and was on the verge of buying a new one (it's fairly old and slow) but I have still been able to burn CDs using Adaptec software under Windows (something I would prefer not to have to do).
The following is an excerpt from dmesg which may or may not be relevant:
sr0: CDROM (ioctl) reports ILLEGAL REQUEST.
sr0: CDROM (ioctl) reports ILLEGAL REQUEST.
sr0: CDROM not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive. (There is)
sr0: CDROM not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive.
sr0: CDROM not ready. Make sure there is a disc in the drive.
sr0: CDROM not ready yet.

sr0: CDROM not ready yet.
sr0: disc change detected.
sr0: CDROM (ioctl) reports ILLEGAL REQUEST.
sr0: CDROM (ioctl) reports ILLEGAL REQUEST.
I'm totally lost with this. The hardware, a Mitsumi CR-4802TE, is apparently sound under Windows and until a couple of days ago it did the business under MDK 9.2
Any ideas?
Cheers,
In the computer world it pays not to take the warning messages literally, always.

My guess is that somehow your drive has become unhinged as a device to the system.
Did you run something by way of a configuration programme recently ?
anyway, in a terminal,
cat /etc/lilo.conf cat /etc/fstab cat /etc/modules.conf cdrecord -scanbus and report.
