Subject: cdrom will not read
Hi all,

My cdrom will not read any meadia at all, either burned cd's or
bought ones. Here is my fstab file, I do get a message that a final
newline is missing.

warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab

LABEL=/                  /                         ext3

The cdrom is detected in the bios, so it is recognized at least
there. Any ideas as to what may be wrong with, or is there some other
file that I may have to edit. I am running RH9.

I'd hate to go out and buy a new one if I don't need to, this cdrom is
only about 3 years old, well, maybe 4.

I did check the cabling, and it is ok, it did work as of a few month
ago, but I rarely use it, so I am at a loss as to what happened.

TIA
