Error: /dev/sdc: No medium found (...but I don't have it)

I have this error
error: /dev/sdc: No medium found
But I don't have it in fstab, I don'have it in syslinux.cfg...

Sorry... it's during the boot process at the beginning before the message about boot drive.
This is the output of journalctl:

Mkinitcpio to build Initial RAM Disk: error: /dev/sr0: No medium found

Prior to using mkinitcpio-busybox 1.15.3-5, building an Initial RAM Disk for my custom kernel resulted in no error messages.
Using mkinitcpio-busybox 1.15.3-5, I ran and got:
[root@Galicja linux-2.6.33.1]# mkinitcpio -k 2.6.33.1-ARCHMOD -g /boot/kernel26-2.6.33.1-ARCHMOD.img
:: Begin build
:: Parsing hook [base]
:: Parsing hook [udev]
:: Parsing hook [autodetect]
error: /dev/sr0: No medium found
:: Parsing hook [pata]
:: Parsing hook [scsi]
:: Parsing hook [sata]
:: Parsing hook [filesystems]
:: Generating module dependencies
:: Generating image '/boot/kernel26-2.6.33.1-ARCHMOD.img'...SUCCESS
However, using this Initial RAM Disk in menu.lst for booting into my new kernel worked fine (as before when I wasn't using mkinitcpio-busybox) without any crashes, panics, or errors.
Should the message "error: /dev/sr0: No medium found" refer to a 'warning' instead of an error? What can I do to avoid this message (adjust any hooks or modules in mkinitcpio.conf)?
Note: /dev/sr0 refers to my Optical Block Device (CdRom).
Here are the contents of my mkinitcpio.conf file:
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes, into the CPIO image, and additional
# binaries a given user may wish. This is run first, so may
# be used to override the actual binaries used in a given hook.
# (Existing files are NOT overwritten is already added)
# BINARIES are dependancy parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in anyway. This is useful for config files.
# Some users may wish to include modprobe.conf for custom module options,
# like so:
# FILES="/etc/modprobe.conf"
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
# This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
# No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
# This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
# work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
# This is identical to the above, except the old ide subsystem is
# used for IDE devices instead of the new pata subsystem.
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata filesystems"
# This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
# No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev pata scsi sata usb filesystems"
# This setup assembles an pata raid array with an encrypted root FS.
# Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H raid' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev pata raid encrypt filesystems"
# This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev usb lvm2 filesystems"
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. With kernels earlier than
# 2.6.30, only gzip is supported, which is also the default. Newer kernels
# support gzip, bzip2 and lzma.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"

Got the exact same error here. Did not get it before said changes to mkinitcpio (busybox).
However, there are some things I did not quite understand:
djgera: "(don't worry, is not an issue)"
By that you mean that it is not a bug or that it is not going to give the system any troubles?
.:B:. :"I don't see how the error message is 'misleading'? Do you mean you do have an optical drive while the script doesn't seem to pick it up?"
Do you mean that if I have an optical drive then I should not be getting this error? 'Cause I've got one and the error always appears to me. Or should I be getting the error output even though I have an optical device? If that is so, then in that sense I think said error message is potentially misleading for if it is an initrd-related error, then something is not going to work well on my Initial Ram Disk. I mean, by errors I understand that certain things will not be working well or mainly not working at all. If that is not the case, then I don't see why the output is given as an error. Thanks for the attention.

"/dev/sr0: no medium found" and the boot log

Hi.
On boot I see the message
failed to open /dev/sr0: no medium found
Some say that I need to disable floppy, but I didn't find if that's true and how.
No such option in BIOS. And I blacklisted the module.
Also, I wonder where is the boot log.
Some say that these messages are in dmesg, but that is not true
dmesg | grep /dev/sr0
is empty.
My log folder
ls -1 /var/log
Xorg.0.log
Xorg.0.log.old
btmp
cups
faillog
journal
kdm.log
lastlog
old
pacman.log
pm-powersave.log
vsftpd.log
wtmp

The logs are nowadays in the journalctl - see the wiki and the man page.
Post your /etc/fstab.
Thanks man, but
journalctl | grep /dev/sr0
Is empty as well.
The fstab contains only root and home.

Hold the Option key down and restart. Select one of the drives that comes up and hit the Return key.

I have the same problem on my iMac. My facetime has been working, but now I'm getting the same error as You. I've been through the following:
The stuff that Linc Davis suggested, new profile on iMac, moved iMac into DMZ zone with no firewall rules, tested with other Apple-ID, checked hosts file, checked different timezone settings, tried to connect to 2 mobile APs (with diferent providors), changed DNS servers (ISP's DNS + Google DNS + Open DNS) - Nothing helped. Also talked to Apple Support, since i have Apple Care, but the seem to be a bit clueless also Well I've mailed them the results of my different tests, so lets see what they come up with - Unfortunately I'm sure it will be the same suggestion as all the major PC manufactures suggests, reinstall and test - RIGHT !!!!!!
If I get solution, I'll post it here.
Kind Regards
Kim

If you have an existing ID, & you don't want to use a credit card, you'll have to redeem an iTunes gift card. If you don't want to do that, you'll have to create a new ID by following the directions here, EXACTLY:

You could of course use Safari your default browser as a quick method of accessing gmail until you figure out the Firefox problem. (More than one browser may be used on a Mac or other computer).
Is this the only site you have problems with ? and does Safari work ok ?
Often this problem requires the page to be reloaded
* try pressing the shift key as you reload the page
Another problem is sometimes the cookies for that site need clearing
* see [[Delete cookies to remove the information websites have stored on your computer#w_delete-cookies-for-a-single-site]]_delete-cookies-for-a-single-site
* see also [[Firefox and other browsers can't load websites]] or[[Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can]]

Sorry to be such a moron with this, but I just don't have much experience with this iPad. I have had it for over a year and I just keep adding stuff to it and it has worked great. Now that the memory is used up, I am trying to figure out how to free up space and not lose what I have paid for.
So, Step 1 is complete, as I have "Transferred" all of the purchases.
What is Step 2? I unchecked the concert on the iTunes library, did a sync, but it's still on my iPad.
Thanks again for the help!!!

Is there a way that articles opened in Safari can be saved to read off line? Sometimes they are there when I opened Safari but other times I get the message that the page can't be found because I don't have Internet access.

Sometimes they are there when I reopen my iPad, even without Internet access. Other times I get the message that the page can't be found because I don't have Internet access.

You're welcome
I use Reading List all the time.
If applicable, you can access saved Reading List articles in Airplane mode > iOS: Understanding airplane mode

The File could not be found or you don't have permission to access it.

I teach Acrobat in a junior college. For an assignment students are to share an Acrobat portfolio file via Acrobat.com. So far two students have attempted to do that, I have clicked the link in the email message generated by Acrobat.com, and in each instance the error message in this discussion heading appeared.

Michelle,
I don't sign in. The moment Acrobat.com opens, it displays the error
message, "The File could not be found or you don't have permission to
access it." So, I'm guessing that the automatic sign-in email address is
different than the one used when sending me a shared file notice.
People use Acrobat.com to share files with individuals, most of whom
don't have Acrobat.com IDs. Those non-members gain access smoothly.
There shouldn't be a bouncer at the door to refuse entry to those who
have Acrobat.com IDs but who happen to have multiple email addresses.
You need to simply allow entry to all persons receiving invitations to
download files whether or not they have an Acrobat.com ID.

How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4. The car manual says to consult the phone's bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have one.

How do I upload the contacts from my iPhone 5S to the Bluetooth device on my Toyota RAV4? The car manual says to consult the phone's Bluetooth instruction manual, but I don't have a manual for that.

That is very strange... I wonder if it has something to do with the firmware or some sort of error. I haven't ran into this but at the shop I work at I've ran into several firmware errors on iPhone 4 all the way through the 5s. Maybe its something as simple as putting a different part of the code into iTunes... I know you can something of this extent. I would look up error 1669, I know you have tried a number of things but look it up on the forum and see what fixes are available so that you may be able to restore it properly without all this garbage you are running into. Just a thought for you.

Hi, i had created a form on adobe forms central, but i don't have access to the results now. any help would be appreciated.

Hi massif76198910,
I don't see that you had a paid FormsCentral account. Were you using the free account? If so, you should still have access to the form until FormsCentral is retired on July 28 2015,
Are you able to log in? Or do you get an error when you try to log in to your account? Please try clearing the browser cache, or logging in via a different browser.

This means you have the iWork '09 trial installed. You need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
