cant determine filesystem
 

Installed SuSE 7.1 with a cd drive and a burner.Had to manually set up scsi emulation so I could run XCD-Roast.All that works fine-I can burn cds.
My problem is when I try to mount either device,I get:
cd drive-error saying input/output error:could not determine filesystem,nor was one specified.
In /etc/fstab the fs type is "auto."
cd burner-error:special device /cdrecorder does not exist.I did the:
ln -s /dev/scda /dev/cdrecorder
Apparently,it didnt take.I tried changing things in the icons properties but no go,so I changed them back.Any help will be appreciated.

HI

sometimes the respective modules to support a filesystem are not loaded pls run

depmod -a as root

the modules info wil be updated and You should be able to use your respective filesystems

Hope this helps

Thanks,Aaron.I tried that and now my cd drive is not recognized as a valid block device.And my cd-r is still non-existant. When I did a re-boot my console log said"kernel:hda,couldnt find module i."So it's off to read the logs to see if I can find out somthing :confused:

update
 

I had my symlinks all screwed up.I removed the bad ones and did an:
ln -s /dev/xxx /xxx
and everything is working again :D
