    Hi,
    My /media/cdrom0 disappears by itself.
    I run testing on a Dell Inspiron 8600 with a DVD-RW
    drive in a
    removable bay. Every time I reboot it looks like:

     nils:/# ls -l /media/
     totalt 0
     lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2004-12-12 23:51 cdrom ->
    cdrom0
     nils:/#

    and I can't use my CD/DVD drive.
    I then do (as root):

     nils:/# mkdir /media/cdrom0
     nils:/# ls -l /media/
     totalt 4
     lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2004-12-12 23:51 cdrom
    -> cdrom0
     drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2005-08-26 11:52 cdrom0

    and now I can use my CD/DVD.

    The disappearing didn't happen from the beginning, I
    think it
    started when I once unplugged the DVD-drive - I just
    yanked it
    out of the bay while the computer was running.

    Any suggestions on a permanent cure? Or what data
    should I supply
    for further debugging?

    Best Regards
    /Gerhard
