Cannot Read Package Data.

Hiya, I have a Pioneer DVR-106D (with the patest unhacked firmware) I have searched up this error that I get, and it appears its something to do with combi DVD / CDRW drives (this is a combi DVDRW / CDRW but I guess that dosent apply) having checked the FAQS (http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/11/fluttma_dvdinstall.html) and various other sitesI tryed what was reccomended. hdc=ide-scsi and loading the ide-scsi driver (kernal modules > scsi / IDE / Raid > ide-scsi) however this is still failing to work, does anyone have any other ideas? ripping the DVD drive out of this PC and putting another one in is really not a option. any other ideas would be great.
