More information. I tried to mount /cdrom with a DVD in the drive, and these showed up in dmesg:
hdc: packet command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } hdc: packet command error: error=0x54 cdrom: open failed. And a silly thing seems to be happening: The American DVD's are working, and some of the Japanese DVD's are working, but not all. Data DVD's are failing entirely. Can this be an effect of an advanced copy protection?
