<p dir="ltr">Odd. It all looks OK. The kernel log message I don't recognize at all. <br>
Did you see a change in udev rules.d ?<br>
Can you try a USB CDROM? Can't rule out a hardware failure yet. Reseat all connectors on the drive and mobo?</p>

Dmesg doesn't report anything for CD insertion, but then I don't

Thumb drive dmesg info looks normal. I can mount sdd1 manually

Only think in the kernel.log file that's wierd is this:<br>
May 22 09:20:39 blackie kernel: 317.931 d1::::[d]N ahn oepg on<br>
<br>
Same for syslog. /media is owned by root.root and has 755 mode.
There is a .hal-mtab-lock file in /media that was created on Feb
24. It's 600 mode.<br>
<br>
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 May 22 09:20 /dev/cdrom -> sr0<br>
That looks OK I think.<br>
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 11, 0 May 22 09:20 /dev/sr0<br>
As does that.<br>
<br>
Just for grins, I reinstalled the udisks package, no help.<br>

Hal or udev or ?. Whatever utility that's supposed to
recognize a CD or USB drive is no longer doing it's job.
Google wasn't a lot of help. Any suggestions as to where to
look?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
