I have:

CONFIG_CDROM_PKTCDVD=y
CONFIG_CDROM_PKTCDVD_BUFFERS=8
# CONFIG_CDROM_PKTCDVD_WCACHE is not set

Also have:

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD_VERBOSE_ERRORS=y

But those are not likely it. It's likely with the File Systems...

I have all of these as 'y', no modules. Check to make sure the UDF and ISO9660 file system modules are loaded. Your issue may be that they are not being loaded for some reason.

I also have:

CONFIG_UFS_FS=y

While I could be wrong, I believe some CD/DVD producers use the UFS file system on the discs, so while it's not directly listed under the CD/DVD stuff, it may still be important.

Now this is all on my x86 32-bit laptop but it should still be roughly the same. I do remember having the issue on both my laptop and my AMD64 system (which I don't have on at the moment).

Any how..there's a few things for you to try.

HTH,

Ben
