Re: VCD not readable under 2.6.18

Oh, VCD players are breaking coz they are trying to mount the device and then access files from it. Mounting itself fails, and so the VCD players cant read any files ... that's what I think.

Which explains why downgrading the kernel solves the problem. (If it were a HAL or KDE/ GNOME problem then shouldn't downgrading the kernel *not* help?) Just thinking aloud ... 

The old kernel erroneously failed to report errors in some cases so the
answer to that bit is a definite  - no -. That side is a desktop problem.
The fact people are saying that in addition vcd players are breaking is a
bit more mysterious.
