Created attachment 146667 [details] hardware info Installation of software in Online Update YaST requests a CD to be inserted. It does not seem to matter which package or which CD is requested. For example, in the pop up window we see Insert 'openSuse 10.3 CD1' once the CD is inserted hit RETRY. Nothing happens. enable "details" we see Failed to mount cd:///? devices =/dev/Sr0 on Mounting Media Failed If you press skip enough times the program will start some type of installation action. I think it is going to the internet to get the software but I am not sure.

I've got the same problem exactly.cd/dvd-rom is not automatic mounted even.
Are you able to mount it manually?
I did not try to mount it manually in the middle of the installation. I will do a test this evening and report the results.
Unable to mount cdrom Q6600g:/home/bill # mount /dev/cdrom mount: can't find (null) in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab Q6600g:/home/bill # mount /mnt/cdrom mount: can't find (null) in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab I obtained the error while trying to mount an addon cd in a working suse 10.3 alpha 5 system. The error message in show details was: Failed to mount cd:/// on : Mounting media failed
Created attachment 147510 [details] text of missing info in /dev further info. in /dev we seem to be missing entries for /cdrom. I could not find cdrom or sr0 or hda
Thanks. Please attach output of 'dmesg', 'lsmod' and your /var/log/messages .
Created attachment 147707 [details] dmesg output dmesg output as requested
Created attachment 147708 [details] lsmod output lsmod output as requested
dmesg and lsmod output attached to meet info request. the last occurence of this bug was post 10.3 alpha installation in the "administration/YAST" online software update tool. Thank you for the help. Whatever is causing the problem is annoying. It seems that when you insert the requested CD and "retry" nothing happens. when you "skip" the program heads to the internet repositories and continues on.

Does: /sbin/modinfo sr_mod help?
Oops, sorry. I mean: /sbin/modprobe sr_mod
/sbin/modprobe sr_mod seemed to fix the problem. I tried two different machines that had the problem when trying to do an online update. Suggested fix seemed to allow the system to mount the CD correctly. Thank you
