Would it be possible for you to send me your fstab as an example.
My laptop is not fully set up yet, so I will just copy the one line from the laptop's fstab: /dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0

I am running SuSE 9.3 professional on a Dell Inspiron 9300. The machine is a dual boot with Windows XP. Everything works great, except, I am unable to mount or play audio or data cd's/DVD's.
What Works: I can install from the SUSE DVD via YAST. Once the SuSE DVD is mounted by Yast I can access it.
I can also burn CD's
What Doesn't work
I can't mount a cd and none of the audio apps will play an audio CD. I get a variety of errors including "Drive Error" and "No Media" (or something like that.
My error message was a bit more clear and said that there was no entry for /dev/hdc in /etc/fstab. fstab had an entry for /dev/cdrecorder, which is linked to /dev/hdc.
I've tried all of the CD's and DVD's in Windows XP on this same machine, same drive and all work.
I've Tried mounting /dev/cdrom as root. It seems to work but when opening the device I get the no media message (Not true, there is good media in the drive).
What worked for me was to edit /etc/fstab and write hdc instead of cdrecorder. The solution is not fully kosher, as I now get a new entry in /media for each CD or DVD with the title of the disk (such as SU930_001 and SU930_002 for the 2 SuSE DVDs), instead of a generic cdrecorder or dvd as mounted directory.
But at least I can read the contents now.
