DVD no longer recognized?

Since linux 2.6.24 my dvd drive (ide) isn't recognized anymore, the device nodes in /dev are there but apps can't open anything from the drive and I get this error on dd or hdparm -tT:

read() failed: Input/output error

I'm now running with the ide hook enabled in mkinitcpio, when I use the pata hook I get the same error.

Does anyone have an idea? I'd like to get the drive working again... I'm not sure which files are useful, I'll post info when needed.

Re: DVD no longer recognized?

DVD mounting doesn't work anymore. CD "works" but so slow that I can't use it (for example, extracting a song with sound-juicer takes 12 minutes without encoding time).

dmesg only says :

sg_write: data in/out 56/56 bytes for SCSI command 0x12--guessing data in;
   program sound-juicer not setting count and/or reply_len properly
sg_write: data in/out 26/26 bytes for SCSI command 0x5a--guessing data in;
   program sound-juicer not setting count and/or reply_len properly
