Since when do you have those issues? It's probably a bug in the kernel (package linux 3.0.2 and 3.0.3). I just wanted to try what was explained in this thread and must realize that my DVD writer isn't detected anymore, no /dev/sr0 anymore. And my drive is hard locked, means I can't open the tray anymore with the drive's eject button. And the eject command doesn't work either, of course. Here's my bug report: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25649 Heiko
