Problem with CD-ROM on precision 390

[Rogelio_Noriega at Dell.com]

First thing check your bios settings and make should the port is enabled
for the CDROM, if everything is good try to boot to a know good bootable
CD. Does the CD you're trying to mount work on another system and do all
CDs fail on this system?

If the system boots to a CD the HW to probably good. Some CDROMs can be
picky about reading burned CD media if that's the case. Try reading a
store bought CD.

Thanks Roger

Subject: Problem with CD-ROM on precision 390

Hi,

I have a precision 390 running Fedora Core 6.

Everything has been running fine for a long time until trying to insert
a data CD-ROM this morning, it appears to be empty.

/var/log/messages tells me:
Aug 15 10:03:48 roger kernel: VMBlock warning: DentryOpRevalidate:
invalid args from kernel Aug 15 10:04:52 roger kernel: cdrom: This disc
doesn't have any tracks I recognize!

Any idea what could be the problem? I have looked in Google and the most
likely culprit it seems would be a hardware failure... How can I test
this under Linux? My machine is still under warranty.

Note I don't use CD/DVDs very often so the problem could be a few months
old.

Thanks for any help.
