I do not know if it is my system, but they altered the names for my system. My dvd/cdrom is now /media/dvdrecorder (I have a burner). Check you /etc/fstab tosee what the devices are linked to. By the way if you add the user option on the /etc/fstab, it will allow a user to mount the drive. If you are gnome or kde (kde seem to work the best) it should mount the drive automtically for the user. You can still use "eject cdrom" to umount the drive. One thing I noticed, the new mount only allows the user that is logged on to have work right. It seems root will work but runs awfully slow on my machine. I usually force a mount and things work a lot faster when you want other users to access it. Travis Barlow wrote:

Hello All

Due to a recent company switch I have become the owner of a new Dell Latitude D810. I have installed Suse 9.3 Professional with no troubles, however I have one issue which became apparent after the install.

For some reason I cannot access my cdrom. The error I receive is, Unable to mount the selected volume, mount:only root can mount /dev/cdrom on /media/cdrom.

Now, I have tried mount the volume as root with the same error message.

I have been googling for more information, and have asked around locally, but I seem to be the only one with this issue.

Suse recognizes the drive correctly as a TSSTcorp CDRW/DVD TSL462C and the only thing different from my last laptop besides the name is that the Dell has SATA interfaces. The Disk Controller is a Dell 8280 1FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller using module ata_piix.

Any pointers would be great at this point.

Thanks and best regards,

Travis Barlow
