So weird I'm using the same kernel on gentoo too, and pktcdvd goes fine, with my external case, anyway I guess is not related to pktcdvd is your drive, cause I can write on +rw 4X -> 1.5 ~ 2.0 MB/s and is a very good data rate. Why you do not try with a +rw media instead of dvd+ram?
I tried using a dvd+rw medium but the result was the same. I couldn't get the drive to work with pktcdvd. Without this driver i have this weak performance. I also tried newer kernel versions (2.6.15-rc7 and 2.6.15-rc5-mm3). All results were the same. I will try to connect my drive via firewire but currently I don't have a firewire controler. Lets see if I can by one tomorrow. Greetings Gerald
