no its on an ATAPI-IDE controller. the manual mount is "mount -t iso9660
/dev/hdd /media/dvd" .. no probs at all
thing is ... if I insert a data CD ... it gnome-mounts perfectly ... if
i put in a data DVD ... it crashes ..... same physical device ... only
difference is a CD or a DVD disc
the gnome-mount error is "a unexpected error occured with gnome-mount"
with options to restart gnome-mount or not.
