Anybody out there have much experience with dvd?  I just got an IDE
DVD drive (Creative SR8581) and simply swapped it with the CD-ROM drive I
had in before.  Everything seems to go fine at bootup (BIOS and kernel
recognize it correctly, but I can't get anything to mount.

I get identical results with both a dvd and an old-fashioned cdrom, and
both before and after applying the DVD+IDE patch from
http://www.kernel.dk/ to my 2.2.14 kernel:

smeagol:~# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
ATAPI device hdc:
  Error: Not ready -- (Sense key=0x02)
  Incompatible medium installed -- (asc=0x30, ascq=0x00)
  The failed "Test Unit Ready" packet command was:
  "00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 "
hdc: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hdc: ATAPI reset complete
ATAPI device hdc:
  Error: Not ready -- (Sense key=0x02)
  Incompatible medium installed -- (asc=0x30, ascq=0x00)
  The failed "Test Unit Ready" packet command was:
  "00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 "
mount: No medium found

does this look like a bad drive, or is there something I missed?
btw, it doesn't work in windows either, but I'm not so quick to blame the
hardware in that case, if you know what I mean.
