For the benefit of anyone else stuck with this sort of problem, I did this: alias scsi_hostadapter sym53c8xx # For the Symbios Logic adapter alias sr0 sym53c8xx alias block-major-11 sym53c8xx # <--- Must do! and then comment out the default alias for block-major-11 as sr_mod. I picked that up from looking at the boot log, where I found a block-major-11 failure. A quick examination of /dev, showed that both scd0 and sr0 are associated with block-major-11, so I guess either of them would have been OK. depmod -a does the trick and all works. One more thing: In /dev there is a cdrom link to the cdrom (presumably used for installation), in my case, hdb. It is worth creating a link, something like, cdrwm->sr0 (for me). That way, in kde, you can set up an extra device (independent) icon which points to it, for quick mounting/dismounting. It's also worth adding a line to fstab analogous to the cdrom line, something like /dev/cdrwm /mnt/cdrwm iso9660 rw,noauto,user,exexc 0 0 > > Another way on SuSE is to edit the variable INITRD_MODULES in > /etc/rc.config by adding the needed modules there and running SuSEconfig > and lilo.
