I have access to two 500Mhz Ti's with the Matshita DVD-ROM SR-8187 drives. When I tried to follow Dan Burcaw's experimental instructions on doing a yup update of YDL2.0 to 2.1 I ran into the problem that a mount of any CD returned the error message "wrong media type" (I hadn't used the CD at all since moving to the 2.4 series kernels). After trying all the various ways of mounting an ISO CD I decided to try the 2.2 series kernels (which of course are on the 2.0 CD - catch 22). After downloading the old kernel RPM's and installing them I was able to mount the CD with no problem and actually completed the yup update to 2.1. However with the new 2.4.10 kernel in place I'm back to the error message if I try and mount the CD I used to do the update. I've tried the latest kernels from Benh, and the bk tree and they all report the same error. It looks like the drive is reporting that it doesn't have a DVD inserted, and fails to allow for the fact that CDROMS are valid. As a side note I've also observed this error message on my G4 733 Tower with the superdrive. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
