Agh!!!!!!!!!!!
My CDROM drive - which was working fine on SUSE 6.2 (on my laptop) has seemingly stopped on SUSE6.3
(And its not the hardware - as I have a removable HD with alternative operating systems - and it works fine under NT and '95)
I 'upgraded' (or at least an ex-pupil of mine did it for me) and it upgraded from the CDROM drive OK.
But now - it says mount point /S.u.S.E. does not exist when the machine goes through its boot phase - and the same if you click on the kde CDROM drive - or try to do 'mount /dev/cd' from a shell.
There is a file 'cdrom' in the /dev folder which appears (according to its properties) to be a link to hdc. I was a little surprised by this.
Should I be?
If the CD Drive is hdc, no - you shouldn't be surprised at all. This is normal, and provided more as a convienence feature than anything else.
And can anyone help me fix this problem....please?
I don't honestly know what's looking for /S.u.S.E. - The only thing I am aware of that uses that dir currently is the Live FileSystem. I've been informed that maybe the 5.* series used it as the Yast mount point, but I can't confirm this either way. Other than that, unless something in the kernel is missing, I don't know what else to suggest. Is there anything in syslog that might point towards something? -- James Samuel Network Manager, SuSE Linux Ltd. Direct Phone: +44 (0)208 387 1485 Fax: +44 (0)208 387 4010
