Hi,

I'm not sure what to do about this problem.

Is it a broken device? I'm seeing "no media found" messages too.

blockdev /dev/sr0 says:

fc37-bash 5.1 ~# blockdev /dev/cdrom
blockdev: cannot open /dev/cdrom: No medium found
fc37-bash 5.1 ~# blockdev --report /dev/cdrom
RO    RA   SSZ   BSZ        StartSec            Size   Device
rw   256   512   512               0      1073741312   /dev/cdrom

mount says:

fc37-bash 5.1 ~# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
mount: /mnt: no medium found on /dev/sr0.
       dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.

dmesg | tail -3 says:

[ 2159.692983] /dev/sr0: Can't open blockdev
[ 2908.948008] /dev/sr0: Can't open blockdev
[ 3597.306199] /dev/sr0: Can't open blockdev

I have tried inserting an old (1996) bootable cd media AND a quite recent 
"live" DVD media from Fedora Core 36/7 with the same messages. Booting from the 
DVD using an external CD/DVD player (NOT the broken(?) one) does work. I have 
not tried the old cd at all recently (1996). Any attempt to use the internal(?) 
CD/DVD fails.

eject /dev/sr0 DOES work though.

Again, is the device broken? What else should I try?

Best regards and STAY SAFE.

George...
