no its on an ATAPI-IDE controller. the manual mount is "mount -t iso9660 
/dev/hdd  /media/dvd" .. no probs at all

thing is ... if I insert a data CD ... it gnome-mounts perfectly ... if 
i put in a data DVD ... it crashes ..... same physical device ... only 
difference is a CD or a DVD disc

the gnome-mount error is "a unexpected error occured with gnome-mount" 
with options to restart gnome-mount or not.
