There are three patches to consider:
* The dvd+rw patch written by Andy Polyakov. I've adapted it to 2.4.23 and the cdrw packet writing patch, but it needs further adaption to the 2.6 kernel. The patch doesn't support IDE drives in native mode yet. Also, it contains some #ifdefs that probably need some investigation and cleaning up before inclusion in 2.6.
* The cdrw packet writing patch. Very unintrusive nowadays, but it would be nice to at least fix the problem that prevents it to work with ide-cd on some hardware before inclusion in 2.6.
* The dvd-rw packet writing patch. Small patch. Depends on the cdrw packet writing code.

Ok, i've made quite a bit of progress.
i'll post a patch before the end of today, but so far testing is going GOOD!!
Thanks guys for all your help!
The only thing is there will have to be a split off of the packet writing code on this one. and i've combined the dvd+rw & dvd-rw, let me know if this is ok.
Not having seen what you did, I can say that generally you don't want to combine patches. Keep the nicely logically seperated. Eases integration and bug fixing. -- Jens Axboe
