I'm having a problem where my CD drive seems to be set up properly at boot, but at some point it vanishes from /dev.
Last reboot, I had /dev/cd/*, /dev/cdrom, /dev/cdrom0, and /dev/sr0, and I could mount /dev/cdrom without issue. Now, about 20 hours later (with no suspend, shutdown, or anything), I've got only /dev/cdrom0 and /dev/sr0, but mounting the former just prints "mount: special device /dev/cdrom0 does not exist" (it's a symlink to /dev/cd/cdrom-1:0:0:0, which is gone), and the latter "/dev/sr0: unknown device". "dmesg|grep CD" doesn't show anything interesting.
Anybody know what the heck could be going on?

Actually, /dev/sr0 (which seems to be the root of the problem) only show up on some reboots.

Grepping dmesg for sr0 reveals anything?

I thought I'd tried that and it was the same as for CD... but actually I've got some "Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block XX", where XX is a number. I'm not sure if this is a problem though, because it seems to be working at the moment.

Perhaps your connector is loose.

Crossed my mind. It's a laptop and I'm not sure how to get at it, but it's on the list of things to check.

autofs running?
