I've used the default mount in /etc/fstab, as well as manual attempts to
mount the DVD's as auto, iso9660, and udf. Here's what I'm currently using
(but still doesn't work).

Just to ask; what is the file type in the /etc/fstab file ??
On the Dell that I am using, the CD is udf,iso9660
I did need to "improve" the original default from RH (grin) by adding the
iso9660.
Hope this helps

Subject: [rhn-users] Plextor DVD+RW (PX-708A) in RH ES3
I just converted an IBM x225 server from Gentoo 1.4 (kernel 2.4.24) to
RedHat ES3 (kernel 2.4.21-4EL). The IBM x225 has factory default hardware
with a post-installed Plextor DVD+RW (PX-708A) drive installed as secondary
slave. RedHat detects this drive as (/dev/hdd).
Under Gentoo, the drive could read DVD+RW discs without any problems and
could burn them with growisofs from the dvd+rw-tools package. Since
installing RedHat ES3, the drive can read CD's, but it can not read DVD's
properly, particularly DVD+RW discs. It can mount the discs, but the file
sizes are reported as much smaller than they should be. For example, a
2.2GB tar.gz file reports a size of 7MB. I've checked the DVD's in WinXP
and found that the DVD's are fine, reporting the correct file sizes.
I've spent a lot of time trying a variety of solutions, including a custom
kernel, but nothing helpful yet. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
