I haven't been able to read any CD from my cdrom drive in my computer
running Debian Etch for quite a few weeks. Not sure exactly when this
problem started. Whenever I insert a disc, it doesn't get detected and
if I try to manually mount it, I get the message "no medium found" or
some such thing.
That same disc works in the cd write on the same computer.
I noticed yesterday, that when the computer boots up or when I close the
cdrom's tray, the LED on the cdrom blinks as usual. But when I insert
the disc and close the tray, the LED blinks for a while, then nothing
happens and when I take out the disc the disc appears to have not moved
at all. Looks like the cdrom drive is not spinning it at all.
So, it is the drive broken? Doesn't look like to be an issue with hal or
dbus.
