Can anyone help with this so I can read my cd's?

Here is /etc/fstab /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0

If the problem is /dev/cdrecorder, try mounting it as (say) mount /dev/hdd /mnt (or maybe /dev/hdc) Most cdrecorders are EIDE devices /dev/hdX but are mounted through a SCSI emulator in linux because the CD recording programs work that way (why reinvent the wheel?) The SuSE 9.0 setup should detect everything and set it up automatically but it may have gone wrong. I can't remember how to fix this. The last time this was an issue for me was SuSE 6.4. But there are instructions out there, maybe on www.tldp.org. -- JDL Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit.

Thanks, Steve. SuSE 9.0 ==============

What is /dev/cdrecorder linked too? ls -l /dev/cdrecorder *lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2003-11-21 23:01 /dev/cdrecorder -> sr0 *(one line) If it's not /dev/sr0, then you will have to remake the symlink. If you have a fresh install, it should have done that for you. Also, you must have "ide-scsi" module loaded for burning, not "sg". Not sure where James come up with sg?
