Well, the command "hwscan --cdrom" did the trick for me! I'm not sure what it did since my links are still the same as before: cdrecorder -> /dev/sr1 cdrom -> /dev/sr0 dvd -> /dev/hdd I then installed a package from Yast2, and it went for the CDRW instead of the dvd this time! Thanks! Mike Cleary <snip> Found this in the SDB: Package Installation from the CD with YaST2 Not Possible ... The source medium cannot be mounted. /dev/hdb: file or directory not found mount: enter file system type ... Open a console (in KDE: press the keys Alt+F2, enter xterm, and click "Execute"). Proceed as follows: 1. Log in as root: su - [root password] 2. Execute the following command: hwscan --cdrom The next time you start YaST2, you can access your CD-ROM drive normally. This procedure also works for using a different drive than that used for the original installation.
