My PPC is now kernel panic on insertion of a data DVD (it wasn't out of the box) I haven't tried an update, since it isn't networked - DVD is how I update (I put updates onto dvd and yum update from file:/// ) - I'm going to put it on the network to see if an update works. On my laptop, which I usually also update by DVD (wireless router tends to drop out when transfering lots of large files, there's a firmware update but I just haven't applied it yet) started acting funny too - it will yum update from a mounted iso, but won't from the physical DVD - it did just a few weeks ago. It does read the DVD though - and md5sum works on all files of the DVD, so the drive can read the disk just fine. So something weird is definitely up with DVD's. Probably CD's too.
