When I put the same disc into the DVD drive, it brings up the

causes the disc to mount and be usable, but the label is not
noticed, it mounts just as cdrom1.
I didn't run FC2, so I am nt sure about this. Could it be that the
DVD-ROM drive is reporting that there is a disk in the drive, but
taking too long to report the rest of the information, so that the
system is assuming that it is a blank disk? (Or reporting error like
it is trying to read a blank disk...)
That's a good supposition.
I suppose that's possible. What I really need is to be able to know
that others use DVD-ROM drives and don't have this problem. I want
to narrow it down to either the DVD-ROM drive itself, settings in
FC2, or what. Until I know what the incompatibility is, I can't go
about fixing it. I don't want to return the drive, only to have
the replacement behave the same way. Perhaps I can put a CD-ROM
in there as well, and boot CentOS or similar LiveCD and see what
it thinks. If the drive works as expected with CentOS, then perhaps
that's the way to go. I really should be using a supported OS anyway.
If it does not work with a LiveCD, then perhaps there actually is
a problem with the drive itself.
Thanks for the reply!
