There's no error in dmesg output. But when I boot with a disk in the drive, I get the following errors in the boot screen: * Loading hardware devices [23.927373] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 1431744 [23.927373] Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 178968 and then several more with just a different number in the square brackets. However, that does not seem to affect the operation of the drive. > Can you please > post the output of "hdparm -I /dev/sr0"? /dev/sr0: ATAPI CD-ROM, with removable media Model Number: PIONEER DVD-RW DVRTD08 Serial Number: Firmware Revision: 1.00 Standards: Likely used CD-ROM ATAPI-1 Configuration: DRQ response: 50us.
