Hi, Run ls -l /dev/cdrom ls -l /dev/cdrecorder and find in /etc/fstab the entry for the cdrecorder, what is the full line? It sounds like you will need to rm /dev/cdrecorder and do ln -s /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrecorder to be able to work it. Possibly it is just the kde link on your desktop that is broken, the results of the ls -l commands should tell us. Ewan On Wed, 2002-07-03 at 19:53, Juan Francisco Torres Chacón wrote:
Ok, these are the specifications:
Board Asus P4T-E 256 Ram CD-RW LG GCE-8320B SuSE 7.3
After I install SuSE, and booting from diskette or Hard drive., kernel shows messages about detecting this exact CD-RW unit.
Nevertheless, in KDE I only see a CD-RW icon. When I click it, i get the message: "/dev/cdrom unknown" And I get a this message in /var/log/messages: "cant locate module block-major-11"
I see /dev/sr0 created in /dev, and I already checked that module "ide-scsi" is loaded
The strange part is that in /var/log/boot.msg , i can clearly see a message refering to the CDRW as "hdc"
I tryed mount "/dev/hdc", adding lines to /etc/fstab, and I can see the CDROM, but I am not sure If this will make the CDRW capabilities available.
Will I have to link "ln -s" devices /dev/cdrom and /dev/cdrecorder to /dev/hdc?
or why is this happening?
What should be the correct procedure to get this CD-RW working?
Thanks
