Hi, people. I've got strange problem with my SuSE 10.0. If CD or/and DVD left inside of the drive(s) while system boots, then, after system is booted, CD-RW drives or/and DVD-RAM drives device file(s) is/are missing from /dev. They simply disappear. No /dev/hdc (CD-RW) or/and no /dev/hdd (DVD-RAM). I'm new to SuSE and it took me a while to find out that device files are missing. First I noticed that sometimes disks doesn't mount. :-\
Can anyone tell me why does system "hide" those files. Is this a bug or a feature (though I doubt it could be a feature)?
Thanks for your attention, Roma.
Roman, a little more info. If you open the My Computer icon on your desktop are they shown there, and if so are they mounted or unmounted, (able to see files on them) Bob S.
