[techtalk] CDROM help

[Geoffrey Makstutis]

Hi,
I've got SUSE6.3 on a KMD A-6 system with a Samsung DVD-ROM. Everything
was working fine, but suddenly I can only mount CD's intermittently.
Yast sometimes can find the source medium, but many times cannot. If I
try to mount the cd manually (mount /cdrom) either command line or in
KDE, the system acts as if the device is mounted, but if I try to open
the directory I get a blank directory (in KDE) and a message that says
something like "cannot execute /cdrom". In a command line, one the
device has been manually mounted, the directory shows as red text but
cannot be opened.

Where have I gone wrong? What can I do?
