I have been poking around the mailing list as well as the internet trying to see if this has been reported by others, and I can't seem to find anyone else with this issue. So I thought I would drop a note here to see if someone has any suggestions. I had to build a Fedora 15 desktop on a 64bit machine for a user that we support (our first F15 box in userland) and I did not add the local user to the admin group, as we have some compliance issues doing that. That said, most everything works, he is enjoying the new Gnome 3 interface and all the wonderful new apps that he now has. But we have two lingering issues, one of which I believe is an upstream app issue and not something that can be addressed by the Fedora community: integration of rabbitvcs with nautilus seems hopelessly broken at this stage. The context menus seem to be missing even though the CLI is there, and rpm/yum both see the package installed. The main issue at the moment is user mounting his SATA DVD drive ... he puts in a media disk and there is nothing mounted, and nothing is showing in dmesg to indicate that the system has even noticed the drive being opened and a disk inserted. However, in the boot process the system definitely sees the DVD hardware
[ 2.951107] ata2.00: ATAPI: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH22NS50, TN03, max UDMA/100
Has anyone else seen or have this issue as well? Any fixes?
Thanks in advance
Michael Weiner

For what it's worth, I recently installed a SATA DVD (a Liteon unit, nothing fancy) and it worked first time. That was under KDE however.

Does dmesg show the device even being "seen"? Sorry to jump into the thread late.

Yes Terry dmesg sees the device when the workstation is booted up, but not when a media disk is put into it :(
Thanks Michael

Dumb question - will the drive see and boot from a bootable CD/DVD? If not, you could have a dirty drive, or a dead drive. I had one die on me the other day - the system sees it, and it tries to read a disk when you put it in the drive, but it fails and show no media found.

Not a dumb question at all, not at this point anyway. Let me give that a try and see what happens.
Thanks Michael
