It could just be a driver or config issue. tom, have you posted that on the yellowdog forums or mailing lists? It could just be a driver or config issue.

I have tried everything, and scoured the Internet. It looks like the dvd drive is locked under Linux. You can't read a movie from the drive no matter what you do. You can't even do a cp /mnt/dvd/VIDEO_TS/*.vob ~. VOB files can not be read. I wonder why no one else is talking about this. The video and the DVD drive are both crippled. You can't play movies from the drive, or rip DVDs. Very Frustrating. Hey Everyone,

Talking to my friends, we came to one conclusion: - full cpu/gpu access (no hypervisor, wich slows down all operations) - br-rw - more (or even expandable - for the future) ram. These three things would make PS3 a perfect desktop replacement. I even know of some Polish universities that bought ps3's as a Cell enviroment, for computational purposes - it's still way cheaper than an IBM Blade server :) Count me in, i was ranting ’bout the PS3 Linux edition for some time now.

This box will evolve into something very interesting. Monolith has one very strong point: they understand the power and creativity of open source software.
