Description Michael Stather 2005-11-01 15:52:19 UTC

Adding a CDROM or DVD drive to an installed system is not possible without changing /etc/fstab by hand and creating the subdir in /media.
The YaST cdrom module is useless with the current HAL+SUBFS mount system. Also IMHO the name should be changes to "optical drives" since there alre also burners and DVD-drives managed within this module.

At first, please describe what you did exactly (step by step) and attach the resulting yast-logfiles and the output of `hwinfo -cd'.

Comment 2 Michael Stather 2005-11-03 16:38:14 UTC

I installed my system with only one DVD drive and then I added another. No entry was created in the fstab and no dir under /media was created.
I was tolf that the YaST cdrom module was useless with the current HAL+SUBFS mount system in bug 118673. Because of that I didn´t use YaST at all.
My hwinfo output is as followed. When I have only one drive the second part is missing of course.

OK then there is no actual problem here (non that I could see). Hence closing this.

Comment 4 Michael Stather 2005-11-07 18:11:10 UTC

And how do you suggest than an "end-user" (who doesn´t know much of fstab) should add a cd-rom drive?
