I am having the exact same problem with Suse 10.1 on my Latitude D510. I tried following Bugrem's template, but no joy. The dvd in question is an avi sent to me in the mail, and I can't even ls the contents, nor can I ls a CR-R I burned that just has some documents and similar files. XP has no trouble, so it is not the drive.
Oddly, with just this (of the dvd/cd drive entries) in my fstab, I can watch a movie:
/dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
But, I can't open a data cd, nor look at the 10.1 install disk. (I can boot and run the latter, though.)
I removed all reference to my dvd/cdrom drives from fstab and they are now working. I can open data cds, hear audio cd's and burn with K3b.
I'd still like to know why the drives work this way....?
I received a post on another forum that said Suse 10.1 does not need a dvd/cd entry in the fstab. So I also removed mine, and everything seems to work.
