Hi, I have a Samsung SH-W163A SATA CD/DVDRW connected to jmicron 20360/20363 onboard sata controller on Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3, running kernel 2.6.18 with sr_mod loaded I can mount recorded/original disks and read them, but if I try to burn a cd or dvd using cdrecord, and somtimes when mounting media I get loads of errors in dmesg and the burn fails.
