I am running Debian 2.0 and am expriencing problems
with my CDROM. Previously all was going well and I could add packages via the
2.0 CD, however recently my CD player has been giving problems (when I power up
the active light is flashing constantly and never stops).
When I boot into debian the kernel finds that the
device is not ready with error (I've appended the
dmesg report below)
hdb: no response (status = 0x90) Is there any way in which I can manually reset the CD drive from the prompt, because dselect tells me that hdb is not a valid block device.I have a Samsung CDROM which is normally on
/dev/hdb - the active light flashes from the moment I power on - could this be a
problem with the BIOS settings? I unfortunately lost (i.e. wasn't clever enough
to write down) the BIOS settings I had when the CD was working. I believe this
may be the case since I am now having similar problems under Windows
NT.
Many thanks,
Dr Iain Scott,
