Hi Yeah, I am a newbie, but I know a little bit yeah I know a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, seeing as after trying to use YAST to configure the second CD drive now I can't mount either. ho hum. dmesg tells me that linux correctly identifies my CD drives but /etc/fstab/ only has one listed as cdrom I added a line in stab so it knows I've got cdrom1 and cdrom2 but when I try and mount them I get the error: can find /dev/hdc in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab so I guess I need to change fstab any tips on what I need to add to fstab? I'll need the whole line please both CDs are ATAPI, one is a reader and the other a rewriter ta Julia PS I called Suse linux tech support about this but the guy didn't know what to do EagleIce wrote:
Have you checked the file /etc/fstab? If you find an entry for two CD drives then it's there. You can also write this at a terminal prompt: you@prompt:~ > dmesg and you will get a list of info on your hardware. If you don't know what the [censored] I'm talking about then you obviously are a 'newbie', in that case you should say so for us to know how we shall put our answers. We've all been newbies (at least) once......:-)
What kind of a CD drive is the one you don't find? (SCSI, burner?) How do you know your Linux doesn't see it? Give us all the info you got .
Cheers,

Linux only sees one of these - how do I persuade it to see the other too?
