[NBLUG/talk] CD problem (SuSE)

[Cal Herrmann]

I have put SuSE 8.2 in, as usual I have a little problem beyond me!
I have a CD, a CDrecorder (zip brand), and a zip drive: the CDrecorder
connection works, but the others seem to have a-or-more problem.
fstab says:
...
/dev/hdb4   /media/zip    auto    noauto,user
/dev/cdrecorder  /media/cdrecorder   auto   ro,noauto,user,exec
/dev/cdrom   /media/cdrom    /auto   ro,noauto,user,exec

properties (right-click on the icon) say:    device    mount
cdrom  /tmp/kde-cal/Desktop-0            /dev/cdrom  /media/zip
zip     ditto                            /dev/hdb4   /media/zip
cdR     ditto                       /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder
left-click on the zip icon (a disk is in) gives: mount /dev/hdb4: unknown
device.  Same if I mount /dev/hdb4, as root.
Yast2 says:         link             mount
CD     /dev/hdb    /dev/cdrom      /media/cdrom
iomega(CDR) /dev/Si0 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder

and finds the zip is /dev/hdd, the CD is /dev/hdb

ls -l /dev/cdrom gives:
	lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3(date-) /dev/cdrom >hdb
" /dev/hdb brw---- 1 cal  disk  "       /dev/hdb
" /dev/hdb4 brw-rw-1 root disk  "       /dev/hdb4
" /dev/hdd brw---  1 root disk  "       /dev/hdd

I also looked, in Yast, at IDE DMA setup;
the CD mode is off, is /dev/hdb,
the zip mode also off, is /dev/hdd.

What should give me a clue?
Thanks, Cal
