DVD-burner suddently GONE in /dev

I rarely use my DVD-burner to read or write anything at all, but this other day I discovered it wasn't even listed in /dev .. Usually it's detected as /dev/sr0 .. That's why I can't figure out if this is a problem after updating to 2.6.25 ..

dmesg: http://rafb.net/p/kbcxeq17.html
As you can see in dmesg, it is detected:

LINE 369 - ata9.01: ATAPI: LITE-ON DVDRW SHM-165P6S, MS0R, max UDMA/66
LINE 382 - scsi 8:0:1:0: CD-ROM            LITE-ON  DVDRW SHM-165P6S MS0R PQ: 0 ANSI: 5

But just not listed in /dev ..

Can anyone help me out please? I have a hard time right now with the exams and I really need this to work ..

At the moment mine does not work in 2.6.25 all I can say is if possible go back to 2.6.24

That's weird, how can this be? Anyone know the source of this problem? Seems I'm not alone .. Would be nice with 2.6.26 now ..

modprobe sr_mod with pata_jmicron and it works, probably sr_mod isn't a dependency of pata_jmicron, but it is with jmicron driver.

Are both of you using lite-on burners? I've got a pair of Optiarcs that still work following the update.
