Hi Alan, thanks a lot. Disabling all the ATA/ATAPI stuff in the kernel helped. The system is reacting better when accessing a dvd. My optical drive is named /dev/sr0 now. hdparm shows slow performance, with the old config it shows a much better performance. But the reality is different. Now it is faster. Thanx again!
