No, it wasn't a hardware problem. After much travail with udev, modprobe, interrupts, etc. and leariing more about dmesg output than I care to know, I thought - well, no sr0? Then make one! touch /dev/sr0 chown root:disk /dev/sr0 chmod 660 /dev/sr0 And that was that. Sometimes the simplest, most obvious solution is the one that eludes us the most. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
