Can't mount dvd: Seek complete error

[Clemens Adolphs]

Hello together,

using Ubuntu, I cannot use my DVD-drive to
mount a DVD. I've testet it on another PC, that
works fine (although with M$ Windows :-! ). The
drive reads CDs without problems.

When I use
mount /media/cdrom
it says "Can't determin fs type and none has been specified"
(Translated from german, so don't take this as the exact message...)

dmesg | tail says

[4298038.644000] hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
[4298038.644000] hdc: command error: error=0x50 { LastFailedSense=0x05 }
[4298038.644000] ide: failed opcode was: unknown
[4298038.644000] end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 192
[4298038.645000] hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }

[4298038.645000] ide: failed opcode was: unknown
[4298038.645000] end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 196

Any ideas?

Greetings,
Clemens

Two more things to check:
make sure that /dev/dvd is linked to the same physical device as
/dev/cdrom.
and/or
make sure that in fstab /dev/dvd gets mounted to /media/cdrom (if that's
where you want it to be)

Hello and thanks for the answers.
Okay, /dev/dvd and /dev/cdrom both link to hdc, which is correct.
It's a data-dvd. I don't have an entry for /dev/dvd in my fstab,
neither for /dev/cdrom, just for /dev/hdc, and the line
reads

/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

Can't find automatix via synaptic. Which repository to add?

Greetings,
Clemens

As it's a data-dvd, automatix didn't help :/ I tried
reconfiguring the kernel, changing module-support for udf to
built-in support, but that didn't help :-(
And, for a strange reason, using a new compiled kernel
makes my pcmcia-wlan-card to refuse work :(

Argh, why does everything has to be so complicated...

Thanks anyway :)

The drive can't access some sectors. Looks like a hardware problem. Can
you exchange the drive with the one in the windows PC?

Dual Layer? Have you tried:

sudo mount /media/cdrom0/ -o unhide

Or cdrom whatever drive you use ofcourse
