I get a constant error message on the Ctrl alt F10 terminal. dmesg shows the same message multiple times: hdb: packet command error: error=0x50 { LastFailedSense=0x05 } ide: failed opcode was: unknown hdb is the DVD drive. I have Suse 10.0 on an HP pavillion dv4000 laptop working quite well, but I have a DVD R+W, CD R+W drive. The drive seems to work well in reading and writing CD's and DVD's. I searched for messages on this list back several years without much success. Google gives me only a few hits that seem to indicate problems with the IDE driver or kernel, but I don't really understand how to approach the problem. Do I need different drivers or kernel? I am using the stock kernel that came with the installation DVD - 2.6.13-15-default Any pointers would be appreciated. Gustav
