I'm perplexed - I've got a DVD+RW drive that refuses to read CD-Rs and other CDs, but these disks can be read in my laptop's DVD+RW drive.
You haven't done something silly like miss support out in your kernel for cd-rom filesystems or similar? I also take it that DVD discs are working ok?
Yeah I've got iso9660 in /proc/filesystems, and (most) DVD-Rs work ok. I have found a few DVD-Rs that can take about 30 (or more) seconds to actually read - as in it seems the firmware on the drive is waiting for some timeout to start reading the disk or seeking to the correct place on the disk. During that time the LED on the drive is on and the disk in the drive seems to be spinning slower than normal.
