    SLES10 cannot see CDROM

    if i check under /media I dont see anything? no cdrom or dvd nothing any ideas what I can check.

    If I try a mount /dev/dvd it says it cannot find dev/hda in the fstab file. Ive tried adding it and it still doesnt like it.

    Does anyone have any ideas what I can do?

    you need to specify a mount point

    Create a new directory for the file system (where we will mount it)
    Code:
    mkdir /media/dvd
    Let's mount /dev/dvd on /media/dvd so you can access it
    Code:
     mount /dev/dvd /media/dvd
    I hope I was clear enough, feel free to ask anything

    The cdrom is now accessible through /media/dvd

    That worked thankyou but......
    I dont understand why it wasnt added automatically?? And would I need to add a line to the fstab to mount this everytime even when media isnt in the drive as currently it complains of no media when I try and mount the drive when its empty (which i kind of expect) but that doesnt happen on my SUSE 9 machine?
