Please help me understand what's happening!
I'm going to break this message into two parts: first - what is happening; second - errors and info from logs.
I'm running KDE on 8.1
I have 2 physical hardware devices: a CD-RW and a DVD player
On my desktop I have 3 icons. The first two (#1 & #2) appeared after initial configuration, and I renamed icon, device file, and mount point, then edited fstab to match. The third (#3), I created from right-click on desktop > Create New... > CD/DVD-ROM device, then named and chose the device file, to see if I could recreate one of the other icons on my own. These icons are:
ICON DEVICE FILE MOUNT
#1) CD-Player /dev/cdplayer > sr0 /media/cdplayer #2) CDROM /dev/cdrom > sr1 /media/cdrom #3) /dev/cdplayer /dev/cdplayer > sr0 /media/cdplayer
Info from logs:

That was far too much info to dig through. So let's start over. hdc = dvd hdd= cdrw But because of hdd-ide-scsi, sr0=dvd, sr1 = cdrw So you need to make some links. as root do ... ln -sf /dev/sr0 /dev/dvd ln -sf /dev/sr1 /dev/cdrecorder ln -sf /dev/sr? /dev/cdrom .... Insert 0 or 1 for ? depending on which one you want to play audio cd's with. If you want both make one cdrom and the other cdrom1. Next change the properties of the icons to point to the right drive. Then try the old eject from the icon test to see if the right drives's drawer opens. You should be all set afterwards. Basically you had symbolic link problems.
Yup, I guess I went on a bit - Ya Think?? Still having problems after checking my links, though. Trying to recreate an exsisting desktop icon isn't working for me. All my device files are linked properly and have valid mount points. fstab has been edited to match. Yet... I am still receiving the same error messages in /var/log/warn. It also seems that I have certain applications linked to the icons and recognizing filetypes. I have two icons that SuSE automatically plopped onto my desktop after configuring my cd & dvd hardware. It DOESN'T matter what I name them, what device files I point them to, where they are symlinked, or even creating bogus device files and pointing them there. These two icons still function the same. Both icons can be pointed to the same or different device files, which also can be symlinked to the same or different files. If I put in an audioCD, or a dataCD, etc., and press an icon, I will always get the same error or start an application for the same type of disk. When I create an icon using Create New - CD/DVD-ROM device, I can point it to the same device files, etc. as the other two icons and not be able to recreate the same results. I would assume that there is some sort of config/prefs/properties file somewhere that is tied to each icon that would allow me to input a filesystem type and application(s) associated with that type.
