Looks like you are using a kernel with libata in use, which either means you have an sata dvd drive, or a kernel new enough to use libata for everything. If either is the case try adding: libata.enableatapi=1 to the kernel boot options to turn on ATAPI support in libata. That is required for ATAPI devices to with work libata (for now, it will go away later when support will always be on). Which kernel are you using and what type of DVD drive do you have? -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
