    Hi there...

    I have found some other things while playing around with SuSE Linux for
    Sparc on my Ultra 5.

    1.
    When I start kscd it says "CD-ROM Lese- oder Zugriffsfehler. Bitte stellen
    Sie sicher, daß Sie Zugriffsberechtigung haben auf: /dev/cdrom" (in english:
    CD-ROM read- or access error. Please make sure that you have access rights
    on /dev/cdrom)

    The message appears regardless if i'm a user or root, and the rights of
    /dev/hdc (which is where /dev/cdrom points to) seem to be ok (changing them
    from 660 to 666 doesn't make a difference)

    2.
    When I start the CD playing manually by pressing the play button on the CD
    drive, the drive starts playing (LED is blinking), but I hear no sound. I
    can't modify the mixer settings for the cd audio channel, because

    3.
    There seems to be no working audio mixer application. kmix displays a
    scrambled window (only as wide that I can see the Master volume control).
    Playing with the master volume, occasionally sound output (coming from kmp3)
    disappears. I have not found a way to reenable it.

    Maybe these three things are kernel issues?

    4.
    Mounting a samba share from my SuSE 6.2 x86 server doesn't work. After e.g.
    "mount -t smbfs -o username=oliver //server/public /mnt" I can see the
    mounted directory on /mnt, but all files and directories have the permission
    000, so I can't open any file.

    Quite obvious I'm just doing something wrong, but all these things work
    painlessly on x86, so I thought it should do here as well.

    Servus
    Oliver
