Hi there.

I am just configuring/building my new laptop (which is actually quite old) with Gentoo. Most things I've tested so far work except the fact that the DVD-Combo (/dev/hdc) fails to mount DVDs.
When I put in a Data-DVD that sureley works and type
Code:
 mount /mnt/cdrw
it complains about missing media.
Meanwhile dmesg has this output
Code:
hdc: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: packet command error: error=0x30 { LastFailedSense=0x03 }
ide: failed opcode was: unknown
ATAPI device hdc:
  Error: Medium error -- (Sense key=0x03)
  (reserved error code) -- (asc=0x57, ascq=0x00)
  The failed "Read Cd/Dvd Capacity" packet command was:
  "25 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 "


Can anyone help :?: :?:

Ok, tried your advice. But it didn't work either (it still complains about missing media and dmesg gives the same output I posted yesterday)... any other ideas??? Is there a special kind of driver or kernel module that needs to be activated for DVD support???

Can you put that DVD that is playing up on another DVD player on another computer? Maybe the DVD?

No ... the DVD is fine (tried it on another PC) ... and other DVDs also don't work. So it's definitly a Drive-Issue :?
