Adding CDROM drive not automated
Last modified: 2005-11-07 18:11:10 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'.
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. r098088:/home/michael # hwinfo --cd 25: IDE 00.0: 10602 CD-ROM (DVD) [Created at block.192] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_TSSTcorpDVD_ROM_SH_D162C Unique ID: Fffu.NCXsS7z3eEE Parent ID: CLZK.NM5sEUkmz_D SysFS ID: /block/hda SysFS BusID: 0.0 SysFS Device Link: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:12.0/ide0/0.0 Hardware Class: cdrom Model: "TSSTcorpDVD-ROM SH-D162C" Vendor: "TSSTcorpDVD-ROM" Device: "SH-D162C" Revision: "TS02" Serial ID: "" Driver: "ALI15x3_IDE", "ide-cdrom", "ide-cdrom" Device File: /dev/hda Device Files: /dev/hda, /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:12.0-ide-0:0, /dev/dvd, /dev/cdrom Device Number: block 3:0 Features: DVD Size: 0 sectors a 512 bytes Drive status: no medium Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #11 (IDE interface) Drive Speed: 48 26: IDE 01.0: 10602 CD-ROM (DVD-R) [Created at block.192] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_TSSTcorpCD/DVDW_TS_H552B Unique ID: iqvy.a355tLoUx33 Parent ID: CLZK.NM5sEUkmz_D SysFS ID: /block/hdb SysFS BusID: 0.1 SysFS Device Link: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:12.0/ide0/0.1 Hardware Class: cdrom Model: "TSSTcorpCD/DVDW TS-H552B" Vendor: "TSSTcorpCD/DVDW" Device: "TS-H552B" Revision: "TS10" Serial ID: "" Driver: "ALI15x3_IDE", "ide-cdrom", "ide-cdrom" Device File: /dev/hdb Device Files: /dev/hdb, /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:12.0-ide-0:1, /dev/dvdrecorder, /dev/cdrecorder Device Number: block 3:64 Features: CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-R Size: 0 sectors a 512 bytes Drive status: no medium Config Status: cfg=no, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown Attached to: #11 (IDE interface) Drive Speed: 48
OK then there is no actual problem here (non that I could see). Hence closing this.
And how do you suggest than an "end-user" (who doesn´t know much of fstab) should add a cd-rom drive?
