Subject: Re: [DNG] problems accessing a DVD/Blu-ray drive
I've not been following this thread but have encountered similar
problems on other systems. I would suggest going back to basics booting
to the firmware and checking to make sure the hardware sees the device.
If so, boot on a vanilla USB Linux, for example GNU System rescue and
see if it sees the device. Assuming this all works, boot your normal
system and try one of the hardware listing applications (e.g., lshw). If
the device is connected to a SATA port, lsscsi may prove useful. If USB,
then lsusb.
