Alan: Thank you for all of the ideas you've had in this thread! I strongly suspect that your idea of replacing the Teac CD/DVD-ROM with something else, is the only way to end this problem. My belief now is that there is no support to auto mount a DVD in that Teac drive, in CentOS 5. Probably, when it was my box and it worked OK, it was with a prior release of CentOS or Fedora Core and something has changed and the auto mount support for that drive (for DVD media) was removed. I rarely use Windoze, but it was very helpful, to be able to test the same CD/DVD-ROM drive and verify that it works perfectly under Windoze. I was able to mount the DVD in a terminal and install the RPM I wanted to install OK, so that also makes me believe the drive is OK. Lanny
Something I don't think no one has thought of:
[root at ethan ~]# rpm -qa | grep auto automake15-1.5-16 autoconf-2.59-12 automake17-1.7.9-7 automake-1.9.6-2.1 automake16-1.6.3-8 automake14-1.4p6-13 autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.55.el5.3
Make sure you autofs installed: autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.55.el5.3
I'm on my box now, but I'm sure it will be exactly the same on my daughters box, the one with the problem. Immediately after I updated her box, I updated mine.
[lanny@dell2400 ~]$ rpm -qa | grep auto autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.55.el5.3 [lanny@dell2400 ~]$
Other than that, that's about all....
I suspect Alan is correct and that the only solution to this mystery is to buy a new drive. About 6 months ago, I bought an LG DVD Burner for my wife's box and it works fine.

Yea, I think you have tried everything under the sun.
