Hello, in /var/log/messages I find tons of lines like: Jul 17 11:20:42 venus kernel: hdc: tray open Jul 17 11:20:42 venus kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 0 Jul 17 11:20:42 venus kernel: Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 0 for several sectors and also for hdd (and then many similar message pairs of only the first two lines (without the Buffer I/O line...)). What makes me wonder is, that (as far as I know)- there is no hdc nor hdd in my computer. At least not in /etc/fstab and also not when looking at kdsikfree. With googling I only found some hints about defective CDs or DVDs, but there are no CD's or DVD's inserted, nor have they been since last reboot. Can somebody tell me what's gong on here? Thanks for hints.
