A few releases back some people had the same problem and it
was related to ConsoleKit. A system update or restarting the
ConsoliKit service would fix it.

Well I found out that I could see the DVD on a windows machine and that
my daughters Fedora 8 machine could mount it just fine. I discovered
that it is just my Fedora 7 machine that now doesn't see any DVD or CD
when I put them in to mount. If I put it in the drive and boot the
machine it will read it to do an install.
My Fedora 7 machine has 2 drives in raid 0 and a bunch of stuff
installed from yum. I haven't done an install on 8 or 9 because so much
stuff has to be backed up and restored and I fear that doing an upgrade
to 10 may have problems.
For now I would like to fix this problem. I am bringing up another
machine that I will put Fedora 10 on and then transfer all my data.
Then I can do a clean install on this machine.
A power down and power up didn't help the problem.
I use yumex all the time as a yum gui. It tells me that I have
ConsloeKit, ConsoleKit-libs and ConsoleKit-x11 installed.
Do I need to get the rpm's and force a reinstall?
