I have the same problem that you have. It will not mount a dvd but works
perfectly with a cdrom. I suspect, that the program that is used to
create the mount point is failing to create the directory name in
/media. I have found that his works after some software burning.
Too make a long story short, I have found that the following works:
1. determine the device name name of your drive. You can do this by
inserting a cdrom and execute the following command
more /proc/mounts
This will list the /device, generally it will be something like
/dev/hdc, where it is the second chain of ide, master (slave would be
/dev/hdd). Make sure you remove your cdrom
2. edit your /etc/fstab. Add something like this in it:
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd auto user,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
3. create a subdirectory , e.g.,
mkdir -p /mnt/dvd
4. insert your dvd
5. ls /mnt/dvd This should display your dvd files. It seems the program
will automatically mount the dvd.
You will need to umount the drive afer using it.
