Boot.msg says the drives are scd0 and scd1, which are working fine...for cd burning programs. YAST2 uses sr0 and sr1, and that's what I'm having a hard time with. When I try a ln -sf /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrecorder is gives me a error that the device is not located. Thoughts?

Here's a thought. sr0 and scd0 are supposed to be identical. If scd0 works and sr0 doesn't, could it be that sr0 is messed up?! What do you get if you ls -l them? Here's what I get: andjoh@samantha:~> ls -l /dev/sr0 /dev/scd0 [16:38] brw-r----- 1 root disk 11, 0 Sep 24 03:54 /dev/scd0 brw------- 1 andjoh users 11, 0 Sep 24 03:54 /dev/sr0 Note that both are block devices (the 'b' at the start) and both are major 11, minor 0. //Anders
Ya know...that's something I don't think I've tried. I agree my links are messed up, but the problem is that I don't know at what point I screwed them up and now I don't know how to fix them. I think I jacked them up trying to get them to work with my cd burning software. I'll try what you mentioned below and get back to you. Unfortunately my system is at home and I'll have to try it at lunch.

OK....here's what I got when I ran the below line without the scd0 "folder not found" or something like that. I ran cat /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info and got sr0 and sr1 and the appropriate information for the drives they represent. Strainge huh? What next?

If you do "ls -l /dev/sr0" and get "no such file or directory" then next is to create that node. Also perhaps a moment of meditation to try to remember how it disappeared :) create it with mknod /dev/sr0 b 11 0 If /dev/sr1 is also missing, the corresponding command would be mknod /dev/sr1 b 11 1 HTH Anders
DUDE!!!!!! YOU.......ARE.......THE.......MAN!!!!!! It works now. I'm not sure where or when I FUBAR'd the links, but the mknod was the key!! Thanks for the help and tell me where to send the check!!! Tom On Tuesday 26 February 2002 04:44 pm, Anders Johansson wrote:
