I have just installed Fedora 4 on an IBM Thinkpad T21, I had to install from cd's as the DVD/CDRW drive would not read the DVD install disc. After installing and update Fedora I tried to watch a dvd movie, then tried to mount the install dvd and the drive will not recognize either of them. I ran cdrecord -scanbus and this is the result: 'MATSHITA' 'DVD-ROM SR-8175 ' 'G228' Removable CD-ROM I know that I have a DVD-ROM SR-8175 with firmware G228. I started looking at possible region problems and ran a utility called dvd_region and this was the output. Drive region info: Type: Drive region is set 4 vendor resets available 4 user controlled changes available Region: 1 playable RPC Scheme: The Logical Unit _shall_ adhere to the specification and all requirements of the CSS license agreement concerning RPC >From this output I came to the conclusion that the drive is RPC-1 or region free, so why can I not mount a dvd-disc. This is a snip from anaconda-syslog hdc: ATAPI 24X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache, UDMA(33) I have no idea how to resolve this. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
