[solved] dvd drive no longer recognized

my dvd drive used to work. i was able to burn a cd just a couple weeks ago, not sure when exactly, but definitely no more than 3 weeks ago. today i pushed the eject button (just a keybinding mapped to `eject -T`) and i received an error saying

eject: unable to find or open device for: `sr0'

checked dmesg, there is no mention of an optical drive.

tried `modprobe sr_mod`, nothing new in dmesg, nothing at /dev/sr0.

i made sure the drive was connected and i was just able to boot off a cd, so it is connected and working.

anyone have an ideas?

What do the commands:

wodim --scanbus
wodim --devices

tell you?

that was exactly it. adding pcie_aspm=force fixed the issue. hopefully kernel 3.2.14 will resolve this.
