Any ideas? I did the chmod 777 for both /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd.

Well I made some progress. I booted into the 2.4.24 kernel and it worked. I could play a DVD movie. Booted back into the 2.6.6 kernel and it still will not access /dev/cdrom and /dev/dvd. Gonna try a recompile and see what happens there.

!nkubus: the problem wasn't his player, but permissions on his dvd device.

 

FX: you shouldn't need to do chmod 777 as you only need read access, not write access too. As I believe I mentioned on IRC, I think this is a group problem. Could you post the output of:

ls -a /dev/hdc

so we can try to make things a little more secure? ;)

chmod 666 would work. perhaps even chmod 664.
