Hi
DVD ROM is being sensed as USB device. You scan use that device file only as you can see the RAW as well as the Block Device Files.

This is the device file using the old USB driver in 11.31:

/dev/deviceFileSystem/Usb/MassStorage/dsk/disk@hp-1008+294=A60020000001

You need to uninstall this driver version and update to the newer version (see link above!).
