[suse-multimedia-e] Problems with drives under suse 8.1
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 Any help with solving these problems would be gratefully received...... Gary.
Hi Gary, Try ls -l /dev/cd* /dev/dvd to see where they point to... Cheers Eduard --- Gary Stanley <gstanley@admin.eastdevon.ac.uk> wrote:

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

Hi Gary, Suse made a bit of a cock-up on the 8.1 distribution. They implemented SCSI emulation on all CD drives but didn't set up the device links corrrectly. The following fix was suggested - Correct setup of SCSI Cds
The symlinks in 8.1 are wrong.
# ln -sf /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd # ln -sf /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrom # ln -sf /dev/sr1 /dev/cdrecorder
Should fix it, if your DVD is 'hdc' and your CD-RW is 'hdd'
I won't pretend to understand it, but it worked for me (also a newbie). There's also a bit of a permission problem. You need to do chmod a+rw /dev/sg0 Apparently sg0 is the general scsi controller. Problems like this come up frequently on the suse-linux-e list; you might be better off trying there. Cheers, TonyB
Hey, I had the same problem it was a linking problem. I do a ls -l /dev/cd* and see if they are linked to the correct device mine were backwords and there was an extra cdrom device linked to hdc still and since they were all changed to ide-scsi that messed up the whole works. so I took that out of my fstab and then rewrote the links to the correct drive ln -sf /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd ln -sf /dev/sr1 /dev/cdrecorder or whatever have fun On Wed, 2002-12-18 at 06:24, Gary Stanley wrote:
