Ok, so I'm not alone and am not an isolated case. This is a problem other
people are experiencing. Does anyone have any ideas what's going on, or a
suggestion for a fix? I put in a PR already but nothing has been
commented on it and it could be months/years before it catches someone's
eye on there.

I've now purchased 2 CDRW/DVD drives, neither work. If I have to buy a
3rd one, I'd like some sort of assurances as to what to buy that would
work. Preferably SATA but I'll settle for PATA if I have to, but I don't
want to have to buy a 4th.

I'm sure it doesn't help, but I've got a system with a cd-r drive
that's on it's way to dead (but not quite there), and I get the exact
same errors. I've also had it on bad harddisks...must be a pretty
non-specific error.

This is a SATA issue... one of the developers involved in fixing this
just sent me a "known" to work drive to see if we can narrow the
problem some more.

Except I have a PATA drive right now doing the exact same thing.
