strange, why not /dev/cdrom-> sr0 ?

any idea?

You should only list the mount point of a device.

Code:

ls -l  /media/cdrom

The second column in your /etc/fstab file.
Do not attempt to list a device This is not advisable

Code:

ls -l /dev/cdrom

Just put the SuSE CD and Open yast2; change source and select Add source and select cd:/// or dvd:///
