Well,... yes and no,..
Yes:
First of all, the DRM works on file level,... (ok, there are things like
HDCP), and the drive itself should behave nearly like a normal cd drive
(AFAIK).
Anyway, I've already read that some people used mplayer under linux to
play (previously decrypted) blurays.

No:
At least my 2.6.24 kernel seems not to support the UDF versions above
2.01,.. (and all my blurays seem to have versions above).

:P :P :P

For my bug:
This is already known at lkml and there's even a bugreport at Redhat:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/28/535
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=351451

The problem has nothing to do with bluray itself but depends on a
mixture of using a SATA ATAPI device with the sata_nv driver using ADMA
mode and having >= 4GB main memory.

Best wishes,
Chris.
