Why doesn't SuSE 7.0 shut off the computer after I log out. Is there something I have to do to get this working. It worked OK with md7.0 so I guess my motherboard is quite capable.

Thanks for the advice. I managed to recompile the kernel and it now works. However I noticed the handbook is wrong at Page 378 Para 13.3 in that the configuration file that came with the linux distribution is /boot/vmlinuz.config and not /usr/src/linux/.config as stated in the para. It only appears in the /usr/src/linux folder upon your first compile. Nev

Could you send a copy of your current fstab file? I can tell you what line to add then. Do you know which controllers both drives are on (eg: Primary master = hda, Primary slave = hdb, Secondary Master = hdc, etc.)

Julia, What you probably need to do is set the correct sym-links fore /dev/cdrom1 and /dev/cdrom2 from the looks of things. If you do a "ls -al /dev/cdrom*" you can see what they are linked too. You should have something like this if it is set up correctly: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jul 20 1999 /dev/cdrom1 -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jul 20 1999 /dev/cdrom2 -> hdd If you do not have this yet, make the symlinks with these commands: cd /dev ln -sv hdc cdrom1 ln -sv hdd cdrom2 Then make another mount point for the burner like this: mkdir /burner Then change the fstab file so that the line: /dev/cdrom2 /cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 Looks like this: /dev/cdrom2 /burner auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 Let me know if that all makes sense.

Thank you - problem solved! I have also had an email from Suse tech support saying they will answer my question and add it to the support database tomorrow (OK so you've already solved it, but it's good to know they care!) I've also learned some more about how linux works Thank you Julia Leah Cunningham wrote:

Julia,

What you probably need to do is set the correct sym-links fore /dev/cdrom1 and /dev/cdrom2 from the looks of things.

If you do a "ls -al /dev/cdrom*" you can see what they are linked too. You should have something like this if it is set up correctly:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jul 20 1999 /dev/cdrom1 -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jul 20 1999 /dev/cdrom2 -> hdd

If you do not have this yet, make the symlinks with these commands:

cd /dev ln -sv hdc cdrom1 ln -sv hdd cdrom2

Then make another mount point for the burner like this:

mkdir /burner

Then change the fstab file so that the line:

/dev/cdrom2 /cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0

Looks like this:

/dev/cdrom2 /burner auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0

Let me know if that all makes sense.

Cheers, Leah

I followed the advice from Leah, and now it all works the instructions were as follows: Julia, What you probably need to do is set the correct sym-links fore /dev/cdrom1 and /dev/cdrom2 from the looks of things. If you do a "ls -al /dev/cdrom*" you can see what they are linked too. You should have something like this if it is set up correctly: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jul 20 1999 /dev/cdrom1 -> hdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Jul 20 1999 /dev/cdrom2 -> hdd If you do not have this yet, make the symlinks with these commands: cd /dev ln -sv hdc cdrom1 ln -sv hdd cdrom2 Then make another mount point for the burner like this: mkdir /burner Then change the fstab file so that the line: /dev/cdrom2 /cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 Looks like this: /dev/cdrom2 /burner auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 Let me know if that all makes sense.
