So you can see that the system seems to know the device is there but the /dev/scd0 device (11, 0) doesn't seem to be able to access it.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm flummoxed. Any suggestions, please?
dmesg | grep 'scd[0-9]' might be interesting. Maybe the device wasn't attached at (11, 0) but somewhere else, eg /dev/scd[12]. Is scsi cdrom support in a seperate module? Is it loaded? Does dmesg show any errors about the cdrom or scsi stuff in general?
