I have also read this thread. Changing the fstab did not work for me. The other method of putting media in the dvd tray in suspend mode worked - the media is then recognised and the drive is mounted. This allowed me to play an audio cd, but when I tried to play a dvd I received the message that the media is not recognised. I've read a number of forums - including older forums and other linux distros and no-one seems to have solved this problem. I did have a problem of reading dvd's in Mandriva, but in the end it worked with some configuration and settings.
