So my ide cdrom drive died this morning, it was old and had been making weird noises for a while. I replaced it with a sata cdrw/dvdrom combo drive. My system boots fine but the cdrom no longer works in suse. I looked in the yast2 cdrom section and it doesn't see any drives. I also looked in the Hardware Information section but I didn't see anything that looked like a sata cdrom. The bios see's the drive and I can boot from it although the suse installation fails after it loads the kernel (even though it loads the sata_sil and scsi_mod modules). In winxp the cdrom works fine so I know that it is plugged in all the way and has power. I've looked through dmesg and I see four scsi devices (formerly there were only three) so the kernel seems to be seeing the drive. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Abe
