Nothing fails. Well, if you can call it a failure all that it fails is that there is no CD/DVD in the device. The messages 'hdc: tray open' tell you that the tray is open. The message 'cdrom: open failed.' tells you that there is no disk in the device to be opened (i.e. CD/DVD). If you reboot with a CD/DVD in it there shouldn't be an 'open failed' message. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
