Jerry, why do you think there is something wrong? If your CDROM is an IDE cdrom then /dev/hdx is correct. In my case the cdrom is /dev/hdc. It was always the case and /dev/cdrom is a link that is created for convinience.
Mine is: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 /dev/cdrom -> hdd and it doesn't work: Because in three years I've used the same box and cdrom with SuSE and it NEVER BEFORE set up the fstab entry as /dev/hdd /cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 that is, with /dev/hdd. It has ALWAYS been /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 Further, previously, it's ALWAYS worked with either YaST or a music CD. YaST and YaST2 don't have any trouble accessing the CDROM, but I cannot play music CD because of the error msg shown below. "mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/hdd as a block device (maybe `insmod driver'?) " which is the same error msg I get when I try sonycd or cdu535 or cdu31a, which is what my CD actually is. Also, the node number don't correspond to cd devices. JLK

In SuSE 7.0 what used to be in /etc/fstab was /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto, user, exec 0 0
Here is what SuSE 7.1 put into /etc/fstab for my cdrom: /dev/hdd /cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
Obviously, my cdrom is not a harddisk so /dev/hdd is not a correct device...
I have no trouble firing YaST or YaST2, so they must be using some sort of driver on the fly.
Here is what vdir /dev/cd* shows: brw-rw---- 1 root disk 19, 128 Jan 19 02:36 /dev/cdouble0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 19, 129 Jan 19 02:36 /dev/cdouble1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Feb 24 20:01 /dev/cdrom -> hdd brw-r----- 1 root disk 24, 0 Jan 19 02:36 /dev/cdu535
I suspect that YaST is using /dev/cdu535. BUT when I do: mount -t iso9660 -r /dev/cdu535 /cdrom I get the message: "mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/cdu535 as a block device (maybe `insmod driver'?) "
I've never ventured into mk_nod territory, SuSE so help me out here. JLK
