First, check your bootup BIOS to see if the drive is enabled. If its not, then Linux won't see it either. If it is, make a note of what its called. Have you looked for /dev/sr0 and seen what's under /dev/disk/by-id/ That's where the note you made earlier applies :-) -- Computers are good at following instructions, but not at reading your mind. -- Knuth, _The TeXbook_ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hi, I tried hwinfo on my computer as a normal user and got: Absolute path to 'hwinfo' is '/usr/sbin/hwinfo', so running it may require superuser privileges (eg. root). so maybe: sudo /usr/sbin/hwinfo --cdrom password- su -c "hwinfo --cdrom" password- or whatis hwinfo or man hwinfo likewise modprobe cdrom returns Absolute path to 'modprobe' is '/sbin/modprobe', so running it may require superuser privileges (eg. root). so sudo /sbin/modprobe cdrom su -c "modprobe cdrom" or man modprobe -e On Tue, 2013-01-22 at 15:05 +0200, e-letter wrote:

so maybe:
sudo /usr/sbin/hwinfo --cdrom
password-
su -c "hwinfo --cdrom"
password-
or whatis hwinfo
or man hwinfo
likewise
modprobe cdrom
returns
Absolute path to 'modprobe' is '/sbin/modprobe', so running it may require superuser privileges (eg. root).
so sudo /sbin/modprobe cdrom
su -c "modprobe cdrom"
or
man modprobe
-e

All very nice and fine ... but if the BIOS doesn't see the CDROM then all this is pointless. Assure us that the BIOS sees the CDROM, which, by the way, assure us that the cables are good enough to see the CDROM.
