Can no longer read CDROM's or USB devices

[mstone100]

Hi,

I have a Dell laptop running XP Pro with VM Player running SUSE Linux 9 (SP4).

I recently upgraded SUSE to SP4 from CD and although I cant confirm 100% it seems since this the USB drive or CD drive will not work within the OS.

If I open My Computer (SUSE) I only see the FDD. Under /media I see cdrom, cdrecorder, floppy, usb-********* but when opening the directories they are blank.

This used to work with SUSE SP3 and I loaded SP4 from CDROM so really confused as to what has gone wrong here.

fstab entries

/dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=ut f8 0 0
/dev/cdfd0 /media/floppy subfs fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=ut f8 0 0

Hope somebody can help this is driving me mad!!
Thanks
