Hi All,
I have a problem with a pretty standard default Suse 8.1 installation where by I have one Philips 1200 CD rewriter & a panasonic 106s dvd drive and Suse seems to be reconising them wrong. If I stick a dvd in the dvd drive it gets mounted under /dev/cdrecorder !! I'm also unable to mount/play any audio cd's in either drive although sound works fine. (Yes they both have audio cables connected from them to my sound card)
I'm a bit of a Linux newbie so I may just be being totally stupid but I'm a Windows (hiss, boo) IT techie by day and like to think I know a bit when it comes to solving problems but I could do with some help with this PLLLEEEEASSSSEEEEE.
From what I've read/learned the entries in FSTAB have a lot to do with drive allocation so the lines that relate to my drives are as follows:
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
Hi, I am not a device wizard myself but you should check with /dev/media what that whole stuff is linked to. Also if you want to use the cd burner you better make sure that scsi emulation is enabled for it. Klaus
