Hi, I seem to have a situation which resembles, but is a variant of the one mentioned in: `10.1 box install forgets DVD' except that in this case the cdrom is forgotten. I installed Suse 10.0 [box] on a machine with both: ide-cdroms and, usb-dvd. The ide cdrom drive [hdc] is recognized by the bios [auto] and fstab as /dev/hdc; the other is a usb dvd drive /dev/sr0. The drives are cdromecorder [plextor] & dvdrecoder [sony]. the entries in fstab are: /dev/hdc /media/cdrom subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8,users 0 0 /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom2 subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8,users 0 0 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8,users 0 0 /dev/cdrecorder2 /media/cdrecorder2subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8,users 0 0 I was surprised to note that each drive was treated as two drives: one for cdrecorder [1, 2] and the other as cdrom [1, 2] also that the recorde had the `ro' rather than the expected [by me] rw. I added `users' but the cdrom was already not functional. I installed suse 10.0 using the dvd without any problem except that the system will no longer `see' any media in the cdrom. It will only accept and present media in the dvd. When a cd/dvd is put in the dvd drive it is recognized and offered. When a cd is put in the cd drive nothing happens. I have tried disconnecting the usb-dvd to no avail. The machine becomes a system without a cd or dvd drive. There is no question that suse `sees' both drives in Yast cdrom. I am stumped - why can't suse `see' media in the cdrom = /dev/hdc? Does suse have a problem with two cd drives? Can anybody help?
