I know you've looked in YaST, but what is the output from /usr/sbin/hwinfo | grep cdrom Is it really blank? If so, does the CD/DVD drive work? It is possible that drive died, or maybe a cable has come loose. Do you have another bootable disk that you could try booting with or even another OS installed to test the drive with? -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
