Actually the two show up fine in Windows XP or when I'm booting with a random LiveCD. I also noticed a (maybe) similar bug: nr 405677 I'll happily provide some more information if you need it (e.g. cli output , BIOS settings, ...) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Okay, I re-installed OpenSUSE 11 and this time, a number of devices show up in /dev/ directory. Not sure if it is the re-installation that fixed it, or if it was because of something else I did... There also was a kernel update in OpenSUSE Updater I applied. Anyway, the drives show under /dev/ now. However, those do not show up as drives in KDE desktop or file managers after boot. But inserting the disc again, it DOES get detected by KDE. I have 4 entries now: /dev/dvd /dev/dvd1 /dev/dvdrw /dev/dvdrw1 I can manually mount them. Behavior is a little strange, but like I said that's probably a KDE issue. I suppose bug can be changed (closed?) now. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I know the drive works because I used it to install 11.0 in the first place. I have a DVD/RW which will work in 11.0 to burn empty dvds, but then will not read/mount a dvd. It will mount a cd just fine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

It could be in KDE or HAL. Bouncing back to the top for refiling." I do not think this was just a problem in KDE. For clarity, I just wanted to summarize what happened: 1. I installed OpenSUSE 11.0 from the KDE LiveCD (1-CD install); the DVD+RW drive worked fine for installing 11.0 2. OpenSUSE 11.0 would not detect the drives, drives would not be detected in other DE's (Xfce, Gnome) either and would not even show up under /dev; see also my attached logs. 3. I Installed Fedora 9 to see it it had the same problem. It did. I could solve the problem in Fedora by following the 'makeinitrd' suggestion from the forum link I provided (to make pata_marvell has load before ata_generic apparently). 4. I reinstalled OpenSUSE 11.0 and applied the most recent updates, including a kernel update. My guess it that the new kernel update at that time fixed the problem. The Fedora user also confirmed that a new kernel release fixed it for him (quote: "It appears that the kernel release for F9 today - 2.6.25.11-97.fc9.x86_64 - fixed this issue for me.") 5. Even though my DVD drives were detected, KDE still would not mount them properly (in plugged-in devices applet/plasmoid) with KDE 4.0. However, I upgraded to KDE 4.1 recently using the online repositories; in KDE 4.1 this problem seems to be fixed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
