With regard to booting the old kernel (don't worry): unfortunately the reason I have the new kernel is that my update of XBMC beta 1 to beta 2 failed and I reinstalled from scratch leaving me with only the .17 kernel.....
yes the device is sr0 the rest is what formats the device supports, but Linux and BD let me more specific its about the dvd being decrypted Linux itself supports the formats. read more here
Im pretty sure it can be done and as for your .17 kernel theoretically it should work. mind im not about to or want to get into the legalities of achieving this and if you want please feel free to start own topic in how to get around this if you want though I suspect most savvy users already do it.
In a fully fledged desktop like Ubuntu this is straight, fwd however on a minimal install with just XBMC now that would be a treat for you BD users.
HOWEVER>>>> For readers pls do not start a discussion on this topic about the posted below this line. Thanks for respecting that.
But me being me I rather like this article I suggest its ppl that adopt their force-fed formats and technologies on ppl who are not aware of what it all really entails. http://bluraysucks.com/ and further on that link you get to this DRM more important than human life I suggest you have a read of that and if at all humanly possible get a non BD version of your box.
And that's all I am willing to discuss about BD and HD and if any you people are humans the you will stand alongside the real human side of the crowd lot.
