What does this get you: sudo hwinfo --cdrom And what does this get you if run it, and then insert a disk? udevadm monitor Do you have any entries relating to the DVD/BDR unit in /etc/fstab? Comment them out if you do, modern Linux doesn't require it for automounting anymore. As for not having a /dev/sr0, that is highly suspicious. Have a good grep through the /dev directory, preferably when you do actually have a DVD mounted, and see what device is getting assigned to the unit and if there are any symlinks created (/dev/cdrom, /dev/cdromX, etc). Lastly, do you have the option of running Windows on that box to see if the behaviour there changes? You could hopefully rule out flaky hardware there, although it could be a simple dodgy SATA cable or badly seated connection. It would also be worth checking for any available firmware upgrades to the device as well.
