I normally try and figure things out myself, but I've failed to understand 
what's going on in this instance.  I can't mount my cd-rom, nor my dvd-rom.  
I'm running Suse 7.2.  I know the drives are working because Yast2 has no 
problem installing software from the installation disks.  And I know I could 
mount them before, because I've played starcraft through wine, and i've 
installed .rpm's from several cd's before.

When I type mount /media/cdrom or mount /media/dvd (that's where suse puts it 
/mnt is completely empty), I get the message "mount: No medium found".  OK, 
so after looking at fstab and all that nice stuff and not seeing the problem, 
I decided to reinstall, just in case there was something I messed up I 
shouldn't have, because after all, when I first installed, my drives were 
working fine.  Plus it gave me a reason to repartition my hard drive like I 
should have in the first place.  Well, reinstall went great,  until of course 
I tried to mount my drives.  No dice, didn't work.  The symlinks all seem to 
be pointing in the right places, I just don't understand.  I've tried running 
as root.  I've tried it at every run level possible.  Looked at my fstab.  
And a plethora of other things Pepe.

If anyone can shine any type of light on my situation, even if it's one of 
those cheap lights that come on keychains, I'd appreciate it.  Thanks for the 
help ahead of time.

P.S.  I enjoyed the meeting at Brewbacher's.  And thanks everyone for the 
reply to my last e-mail.
