It works for the second one (the HP writer). But the kernel completely hangs for 2 seconds trying to wake up the drive (with 2.4.18-pre3-ac2).

My log shows:
 hdd: DMA disabled
 hdd: drive not ready for command
 hdd: ATAPI reset complete

But preemption does help in that case.

The first cd-rom drive does not support sleep or standby commands. ;-(
