This is a software problem. See the following bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212640
Add your comments to this bug, it may help with the solution.
The problem is not related to Gnome as stated in the bug description, it happens with KDE too. However, you can playback the DVD anyway, it's just not automatically mounted, but it will still work if you mount it manually or if the software you're using to playback does it for you.

Sendmail + clamav-milter...
by Drew Bertola
Hi,
I'm setting up sendmail on FC6 and am having trouble determining whether
or not clamav-milter is properly configured and running. I guess
there's been some changes since the last time I set this up (FC3).
I'm not sure if I need to install and run clamav-server w/
clamav-server-sysv, but it wasn't pulled in as a dependency when I used
yum to install clamav-milter.
I've added the following line to my sendmail.mc and rebuilt sendmail.cf
(followed by a sendmail restart):
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clamav', `S=local:/var/run/clamav-milter/clamav.sock,
F=, T=S:4m;R:4m')dnl
and the resulting sendmail.cf has:
O InputMailFilters=clamav, milter-regex, greylist
Xclamav, S=local:/var/run/clamav-milter/clamav.sock, F=, T=S:4m;R:4m
When I send a mail out via "echo test | mail -v -s test
drew(a)somewhere.com" I do receive the mail, but there's no header telling
me it's gone through the milter. Anyone have an idea what's wrong?
Also, has anyone played with milter-regex or the greylist milter? How
effective are they?

What is this page_to_pfn symbol
by Markus Lindholm
Hi
I have a x86_64 box that I've updated from fc4 to fc6 and I'm having
serious problems to compile the kernel module for a HighPoint
RocketRaid 2320 card that I have.
I can't remember that I had any problems when I compiled the driver
sources I got from HighPoint for fc4, but when I'm now doing it for
fc6 I've run in to all kinds of problems.
First I had to append version.h with the line
#define UTS_RELEASE '2.6.18-1.2868.fc6-x86_64'
Second I had to create an empty config.h file
That much I gathered when I googled the net.
Now I have a problem with page_to_pfn symbol, the build runs as follows
[mli@zeus linux]$ make
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2868.fc6-x86_64'

When I try to insert the resulting rr232x.ko module following line
appears in /var/log/messages Dec 29 20:46:41 zeus kernel: rr232x:

I tried to e-mail HighPoint about this, but without an answer, I guess
it is the wrong season to expect a speedy response.
Any one on the list who knows what goes wrong here? And if there's a way fix it?
Thanks

sdc suddently sdd?
by Tom Horsley
I just realized that sometime fairly recently my usb2
drive I use for backups has stopped showing up as
/dev/sdc and instead shows up as /dev/sdd (with no
device named /dev/sdc anywhere).
Wah happened?
How can I reliably mount my backup drive on /backup
if the device name changes at random?
Hopefully my fixed disks will at least stay sda
and sdb?

PL2303 & gui serial status display for /dev/ttyUSB(x)?
by Gene Heskett
Greetings;
Trying to get roadnav to talk to my elderly Garmin 12, and because I'm out
of serial ports, the garmin 4 pin to db9 connector cable is plugged into
the db9 end of a pl2303 serial to usb adaptor. The pl2303 is recognized
and assigned to /dev/ttyUSB0 according to dmesg.
I'm apparently getting zero data from the garmin and I suspect its the
lack at least the 7 wire protocol at the garmin side of the pl2303. I
believe it may even be just a 2 wire & ground setup as the garmin
connector is only a round 4 pin, probably with little or no flow control
as the garmin apparently runs at 4800 baud only.
But, I'd like to ask here on this list: Has anyone ever made a pl2303
based adaptor actually work?
The only other time I seriously tried to use this $40 gizmo was as an
interface translator with the rs-232 pack of a vintage coco on the other
end. At that time I was able to type back and forth using terminal
programs on both, but a known good zmodem setup on the coco failed to
move more than about 10 bytes of a 10k file when I had minicom attempt
the transfer. At the time I also suspected config/handshake problems and
eventually gave up, but now I think the pl2303 may be busted or
miss-configured, hence the request for a gui program to monitor
individual wire status at the db9 connector, but do it
using /dev/ttyUSB(x).
Is this latter idea even possible?
Thanks everybody.

Looking for kernel modules for Zaptel.
by William F. Acker WB2FLW +1 303 722 7209
Hi all,
In extras, I find zaptel, zaptel-devel, zaptel-utils and zaptel-lib,
none of which appear to contain any kernel modules. I'm at a loss to
understand what one could do with the packages without modules.
Any ideas?
