problems with Pioneer DVD-ROM 116

[Nicolae Mihalache]

Hello!

I recently bought a Pioneer 116 DVD-ROM drive and I see strange things
happening. I can't read DVDs with it in standard IDE mode. If I try the
command "cat /dev/hdc" nothing is returned and there is no error like
the DVD inside has capacity 0. However if I use SCSI emulation
everything work perfect. I tried with kernel 2.4.6 and 2.4.14. The drive
works fine with CDs and unfortunately so far I only tried with DVD-R and
DVD-RW produced with another Pioneer DVD writer. I don' know if it works
with a real DVD disk but it should make no difference.
Please CC me in the answer because I'm not subscribed.

Thanks,
