I recently got a couple seasons of Star Gate SG-1, and can read nearly all the DVDs except the 3rd DVD of Season 2, which under Kernel 2.6.24-gentoo-r4 yielded the following error messags to dmesg:

cdrom: This disc doesn't have any tracks I recognize!

First thing I did was verify it was a good disc by putting it in my Windows laptop I use for work and running WinDVD. It played just fine, so I know it has to be some part of the linux system not understanding the disk.

Second thing I did was upgrade to the "latest" kernel - 2.6.24-gentoo-r7 - to see if that would solve the problem since it seemed like the DVD driver was not able to recognize the disk at all. It successfully got rid of the error from 'dmesg'; however, xine (0.99.5) is still unable to play the disk - complaining about not being able to load the plug-in for the MRL. Other DVDs from the same boxset (even the two discs after it) play just fine under both kernels. Also, I can't mount the disc.

I also ran 'xine' with the verbose flag. You can find the output at http://www.geocities.com/bm_witness/gentoo/xinedvd.txt.gz (sorry, for some reason Yahoo/Geocities didn't want to accept a standard text file, so I had to gzip it.)

I'm not afraid to do some kernel hacking to resolve this if someone would point me in the right direction to do so - or at least to providing some help to it.

FYI: /dev/dvd points to hdc. Trying to open '/dev/hdc' yields the same results - though no information in the logs. :-<

I'd very much like to find a solution to this problem.

Any help, tips, etc. would be very much appreciated.

TIA,

Ben
