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. :-\
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)
After CD/DVD-drives "disappear" they couldn't be found neither as mounted nor as unmounted disk. I can see only my hard and floppy drives in My Computer, nothing more.
OK, You looked in both the My Computer folder on your desktop and in your normal directory tree in the directory /media ?? What happens when you eject the CD/DVD whatever, from the drive? What happens when you do an ls -l /dev/hdc (whatever your device corresponds to) ? Bob S.
