I use thinkpad G40, suse linux 9.1 and in this notebook is a cdrw+dvd-r 
boundled (as some notebooks). Today I was downloaded the last upgrade to 
kernel and package via YaST. After this, when I insert a cd in the cdrom 
drive, don't see any if I click on the cd icon (mycompter). Also if I change 
su root user and try to mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom, nothing.
Searching via google I found more information how to change the /dev link to 
cdrom if it is scsi, but in the thinkpad the cd is simple ide (in my suse 
show /dev/hdc).

this is my etc/fstab
/dev/hda1            /                    reiserfs   acl,user_xattr        1 1
/dev/hda2            swap                 swap       pri=42                0 0
devpts               /dev/pts             devpts     mode=0620,gid=5       0 0
proc                 /proc                proc       defaults              0 0
usbfs                /proc/bus/usb        usbfs      noauto                0 0

/dev/fd0             /media/floppy        subfs      
fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0
/dev/cdrecorder      /media/cdrecorder    subfs      
fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/cdrom           /media/cdrom         subfs      
fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0


I found also a tips on the suse portal knowledge base that suggest to change 
some parameters on the /etc/sysconfig/kernel file adding the string "ide-cd" 
after "reiserfs" on the initrd entry, but also nothing.

Can any one help me ? (this problem is it caused by udev file system in the 
new kernel relase of linux??)

thanks in advance
