cdrom drives no longer working

[edmaul69]

i am using a raspberry pi 3b+. when i was using a 3b i had 2 apple superdrives hooked up and working on retropie 4.3. when i had to swith to retropie 4.4 i couldnt get them to work. they just kept clicking. so i switched them out with 2 standard front loading dvd drives. worked fine. now today the just keep clicking like the superdrives did and cant mount or eject discs. (have to eject with sudo eject commands) i updated the kernel just now with sudo apt-get and still the same issue. i do get a

Failed to start usbmount@dev-sda.service

on boot but i believe i always had this issue. when i type

sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0

after putting a disc in, i get either invalid argument or no device. if i type

sudo eject /dev/sr0 

i get

eject: unable to find or open device for: `/dev/sr0'

/dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1 no longer show up in /dev/, so i am not sure how to get raspbian to recognize the drives.

@edmaul69 Can you get the system log file and put it on pastebin.com ? It would show us how the drives are detected. Run from a command line

dmesg > logfile.txt

then upload logfile.txt to pastebin.com.
