I just installed Suse 8.0 and I cannot access my Windows partition. KDE is giving me mount error messages when I try to set up an icon to link to it. It tells me that there is no valid mount point. Here's a copy of my current FStab document, please let me know if you can see what's wrong with it. I am not sure what's going on here. /dev/hda3 / reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,user,exec 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 /dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,user,exec 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto user,sync 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs 0 0 /dev/hda1 /windows/c ntfs ro,user,umask=022 0 0 /dev/hda2 swap swap pri=42 0 0 The only edit I did to it was to remove the "noauto" remark in it. I had hoped that this would allow me to connect to the Windows partition but it did not work. None of the other drives seem mounted either. Thanks in advance for your help. Jim

There's a bug in 8.0. The mount points are never created during installation. as root, do mkdir /windows mkdir /windows/c After that, it should work. regards Anders
I've got a 40GB firewire drive for MP3s and other backup stuff. How can I get Suse to see this? It works fine in Windows XP but Suse 8.0 can't seem to see it. Any ideas? Thank you in advance. Jim

I haven't tried them before, but SuSE 8 includes _experimental_ kernel modules for IEEE 1394 devices. It looks like you might have to load two or more. Here is what my kernel .config file has... # # Device Drivers # CONFIG_IEEE1394_PCILYNX=m # CONFIG_IEEE1394_PCILYNX_LOCALRAM is not set # CONFIG_IEEE1394_PCILYNX_PORTS is not set CONFIG_IEEE1394_OHCI1394=m # # Protocol Drivers # CONFIG_IEEE1394_VIDEO1394=m CONFIG_IEEE1394_SBP2=m CONFIG_IEEE1394_ETH1394=m CONFIG_IEEE1394_DV1394=m CONFIG_IEEE1394_RAWIO=m CONFIG_IEEE1394_CMP=m CONFIG_IEEE1394_AMDTP=m # CONFIG_IEEE1394_VERBOSEDEBUG is not set Maybe check the kernel docs for which modules to load if they are not auto loading.
