That doesn't sound good, does it? What does: # dmesg | grep -2 "cd0" and perhaps: # ls -l /dev/a[ct]* say? If your dmesg doesn't show anything abnormal, I suspect you're probably going to have to look at taking the server down and having the hardware checked out. You might be able to try the atacontrol "reinit" command if the cdrom isn't sharing the channel with any critical devices such as hard disks but given that the consequences are uncertain, this is probably only an avenue to consider as a last resort to trying to keep the server up. How important is it for you to be able to use the CDROM? Wayne
