Hi all,

I was able to read DVD video on my Debian sid ppc box. Since some time I am
completely unable to do it (even with the same DVD I was able to read).

I must have changed something but am not able to find what.

Here what happens when I try to read one of my DVD :

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

During this time I get a lot of messages in the logs (hdc is the DVD drive on
my Powerbook Aluminium) :

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ dmesg | tail -10

I am almost sure the problem does not come from hardware since when I boot my
box under OSX then I am able to read the DVD (even with VLC I think).

Here are the package I use :

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ dpkg --list libdvdcss2 libdvdread3 vlc | tail -3
ii libdvdcss2 1.2.8-1 portable abstraction library for DVD decryption
ii libdvdread3 0.9.4-5.1 Simple foundation for reading DVDs
ii vlc 0.8.4.debian-2+b1 multimedia player for all audio and video formats
$
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I use package directly from videolan repository :

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
# paquets locaux
deb file:/usr/local/bbb/archives/linux/ debs/

# archives debian unstable
deb http://ftp2.fr.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ sid main contrib non-free

# DVD decryption
deb http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian/ sid main
deb-src http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/debian/ sid main
$
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am almost desesperate, so any help would be greatly appreciate.

I attach my kernel config file to this mail.
