Faust:
Check to see if your CD rom is supported and if so all the ide cables are in right.  Are you using ide-scsi or straight ide drivers for it?  (If you can get in then do "lsmod" as root and paste the output here, that will give some info.)

edit: ah hdc, so ide drivers.  is that a writable?

Also check the cables are tight, there is no dust in near the CD drive and no heat being generated in there.  Dust and heat make me paranoid.      

Does anyone know if you can cat /proc/ide and /proc/scsi?  Would it help in this case?

Always better to include the full output than include the "relevant" bits.  Thanks.

all the cables are tight, and last time i checked this laptop was supported, as it is a generic laptop cd rom.
