   	I have several 14.2 systems, and none of them seems to be able to   
   detect DVDs. That is, when I insert a DVD in the DVD unit, I can see   
   nothng whatsoever in /var/log/syslog, /var/log/messages, or dmesg in   
   those systems.   
      
   	The thing is, I have another system running Debian, which can   
   detect the DVD without any problems. This is not happening with a   
   particular DVD alone - I have tried with several, and the outcome is   
   always the same: my 14.2 systems can't detect them, whereas the Debian   
   one can't.   
      
   	I am reasonably certain that it is not the case that all those   
   DVD units are broken - I can certainly see the light turning on in them   
   when I insert the DVD, and I can hear the DVD spinning. Which makes me   
   think it must something to do with the way in which my 14.2 systems are   
   configured.   
      
   	I am using 14.2 with all the patches applied, and I am not aware   
   of any configuration specifics to prevent the DVD unit from working. Do   
   you guys have any suggestions how to try and diagnose (and fix) this   
   problem? I have the feeling that I must be missing something obvious   
   here, but I am at a loss.
