I have tried adding to fstab /dev/hdc /media/cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,exec,suid,ro,iocharset=iso8859-15 0 0 I have tried adding a line in the fstab as it was in my previous fstab (for suse 8.2) nothing worked. tryed mounting and umounting manually would not work. It does not complain when I mount it (and a new entry on /etc/mtab appears) but when I try to read it it still says medium not found. My dvd is correctly detected (and has always been) as a toshiba dvd-rom. Also tried with different CDs just to see whether it was the CD the problem Nothing. hints, please, I'm pretty much lost here.
