well, about a week ago we had a lovely thunderstorm that knocked out our power and after recovering from that my DVD burner seemed to go AWOL (that is the device nodes just vanished)
checked syslog and no errors there, nothing on udev documentation seemed to help, and STFW didn't help either. i'd just reinstall but i need to get a backup off first (which i was, ironically going to burn to disk that evening), and i was planning on repartitioning on the next install. thoughts on recovering the nodes? (BIOS recognizes the DVD drive, the old CD drive is dead but has been that way and BIOS doesn't recognize the DVD drive as a valid boot drive, possible the bootstrap site maybe?) jwlockhart Registered Linux User #458799 Registered Kubuntu User #19678 this user is penguin powered ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?
