I use pcmanfm, hal is running. I can mount as root if I tell fstab to do so. USB stick will mount ok.

Have you tried the drive on another system?

marxav · 2009-01-06 00:54:05

The drive, no. But the DVD mount fine on my laptop. But since I can mout as root, the drive must be ok I guess...

Have you made any major changes to your groups?

marxav · 2009-01-06 01:03:25

No, I am a member of optical, storage, video, audio, camera, hal...

First of all I'd make sure your in the optical group, or whatever group owns /dev/hdc (probably disk come to think of it)

Second, It looks like your using the old deprecated IDE kernel module, you may want consider switching to the more modern pata subsystem

Edit: hmm, perhaps I shouldn't have made a brew halfway through writing this

Oh and by the way, a CD will mount fine.

Assuming this is a tower but it can still be a pain:
unplug and plug the cable back into the device.
Sometimes a carbon build up can break a pin connection.
If possible check the jumper and make sure nothing happened to it.
If you're unsure of what I mean by jumper, on the end the cable plugs into, there are about a half dozen pins recessed into the chasis and a small plastic looking block that should be over two of those pins.
The jumper should not have come loose nor the cable, but obviously something has been changed if it would boot a dvd before and not now.
I'm suggesting this because the exact same thing happened to me a few years ago and it was my fault, I upgraded my dvd to a lightscribe and had the jumper in the wrong position.
It would mount a cd and not a dvd.

Windtalker, I will try that tonight when I go back home.

Well well well, sometime, one has to look inside the box... Drive was dead. Replaced it and all is okay now. SOLVED :-)
