Well, what kind of CD-ROM DO you have? This info is needed for people to be able to help you. There are four major groups of CD-ROM drives: 1. ATAPI (EIDE) ones. They are connected to the EIDE controller and named /dev/hda to /dev/hdd 2. SCSI drives. They are attached to a SCSI adapter and named /dev/scd0 or /dev/scd1 (some people prefer the names /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1) 3. Parallel port drives. Starting with 5.3 they are named /dev/pcd0 to /dev/pcd4 (need protocol modules dependant of the manufacturer) 4. Proprietary drives (with own interface card). They are called /dev/mcd, /dev/optcd, /dev/sbpcd and so on.
closest thing is the creative cd-rom but that wouldn't mount it either. I can still mount the drive outside of yast with mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom. Anyone have a clue?
Originally setup configured the drive for yast.

This means /dev/cdrom is pointing to the correct device. Just do a ls -l /dev/cdrom and look where it points to. That is your CD-ROM drive to use. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
