I have a fried CD-RW. I don't know how it got that way (died all of a sudden).
So, in the meantime, I'm borrowing an external Yamaha and have it hooked up--as I can't afford to replace the CD-drive.
Question 1: I'm running Suse 10.0 Eval, first updated KDE to 3.5.1 and then updated the kernel to 2.6.16-default. Since the kernel upgrade, I cannot get any USB devices to start. I've tried editing /etc/fstab as recommended, but the devices won't mount--and if they do, nothing shows up in Konqueror. I did however, and only once, did
Question 2: How can I add this device to PhoenixBIOS so I can boot from it--the device doesn't show up at all. I'm going to need to be able to boot from the external drive to do any upgrades or patches.
thanks much!!

Cannot boot into Linux at all--Grub pauses and automatically loads Windows.
How do I repair this--if I can't even get into Linux now?
YOu could burn the CD for fedora core1 (disk 1) and at the boot prompt:
boot: linux rescue
that should boot you into a shell where you can mount and unmount devices and lookt at your grub.conf..
