Suse 9.2

I put in a new DVD/RW drive. I already had a DVD/ROM drive.

Perhaps its dynamic like USB? Check your FSTAB and /media.

Here's the summary as I posted it to alt.os.linux.suse:

The K3b will not recognize the write device. Below is a screenshot of me trying to add /dev/hdd manually...it says "Device Not Found":

Here is yast showing that it exists..but not recognizing the mount or the symlink:

Here are my /etc/fstab, mount entries and the symlink:

I have just started having problems. I am told this randome failure is created by not setting jumpers master/slave on the writer. Mine is seen as slave though its connected to master. And I have only the one burner on that box. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/
