Ok, for me.

Sorry, no hijacking intended.

My mounting issues have been solved by udisks version 1.0.1-1ubuntu1,
which is currently available from lucid-proposed (
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed ). I have not checked
whether that includes availability for PowerPC, but I'd assume so. Even
if it doesn't sound that likely that it solves your problem, it's
probably better to investigate with the newest version of udisks.

To my understanding udisks is the new component between udev and
nautilus (which does the automount). New as in Lucid but not in Karmic.

Does "udisks --dump" show anything interesting about your drive in
question?

If you do

1.) "sudo killall udisks-daemon" 
2.) "udisks --dump"

Will the udisks --dump succeed immediately? (it will restart the daemons
you just killed if everything works fine and there is no delay that a
human could recognize)

command line:

Actually I had the same issue with a certain CD-ROM recently (in i386).
To my surprise the following trick worked:

1. use dvdisaster application (needs to be installed manually) to read the 
ISO-image. Just read it, don't do anything with dvdisaster's checksum stuff.
2. loop mount the ISO image "mount -o loop image.iso /media/tricky"

It seems that the kernel or mount or whatever does not retry on I/O
errors as hard as dvdisaster does. That was at least my guess.
