My guestimate is that you somehow screwed up things in a serious way. The fact that you get "No medium found" when you are in /media is certainly not standard. /media should be a directory for other directories. Now it looks like you try to access e.g. /media/floppy without a floppy in it. What I would do is make all subdirectories like /dvdredoder, cdrecorder, floppy, ... What do you have as l;ines that point to /media.... in /etc/fstab? -- houghi Please do not toppost http://houghi.org You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind.

I began to realize this when I could not access the media directory. How this happened - I don't know but thats beside the point right now. Contents of fstab that reference media: /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/ /media/ subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/cdrecorder2 /media/cdrecorder2 subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 I have a CDRW drive and a USB DVD burner and a USB floppy as well as a USB hard drive. Looks like I would have difficulty mounting any of these? So - I should create separate mount points for these? Guy

I want to typ * but typed / and wonderd why it took so long.

Comment the line that says `/dev/ /media/ ...` By that I mean just put a # in front of it. That should do the trick. See that `/media` is not mounted (just do df and see if you see it there). You should at least be able to get into /media now. There you should see /media/cdrecorder, /media/cdrom and /media/cdrecorder2 When all that is OK, you should be able to plug in the USB and see it pop up there as well. -- houghi Please do not toppost http://houghi.org You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind.

Now the question - did the /dev media line just appear in there? I have a second SuSE installation on a Dell 2350 and do not remember it being there. Guy
