Aaargghhh! This surely can't be difficult to do .... My CD burner died recently (Very old Ricoh SCSI device) and considering that my CDROM was an old 6x speed drive I decided to upgrade both to a new DVD-CD-RW unit. I got the Ricoh MP9200A EIDE drive. The hardware installation was the easy bit. The bios recognises it but SuSE 7.3 refuses to. Running hardware information in yast2 identifies the drive correctly, no problem. I am now able to mount a data CD (edited fstab manually). However, I have been unable to persuade the CD player or XMMS to recognise the drive. I have also been unable to get KonCD to recognise it. I can't figure out what needs to be done - yast is no help at all. :-/ Right now I'm going to have a go at burning a CD from the command line instead. sigh. Any suggestions and help would be welcome. I'd really like to listen to music again while I work. TIA David. -- --
