    DVD drive refuses to work with Kubuntu?

    Ok so last night I decided to completely revamp my linux rig. Using parts that I have had and parts I picked up from another forum I frequent, I decided to rebuild it and make it better, faster, stronger.

    Asus P4P800 E-Deluxe
    P4 2.8
    XP90 with a Panaflo M1A
    8x random 80mm fans (overkill most likely but it is quiet other then the whooshing of air)
    1gb Pc 3200
    PC&C 510 (non sli)
    BFG6600GTOC AGP
    2x Seagate 160GB drives (going to be Raid 1)
    1x WD 120GB in a Coolermaster Cooldrive 4
    Pioneer DVR-710 Dual Layer DVD+- burner

    So get everything up and running and completely stable. Throw in the preburned Memorex black CD with Kubuntu Drake and away I go, right? WRONG

    DVR-710 seems to have gotten confused, scrolls down my screen...

    Hmm maybe the CD is dirty, pull it out, clean anything I see and toss it back in the drive.

    DVR-710 seems to have gotten confused, scrolls down my screen...

    ARGH!

    Ok fine, pull out a Memorex CD and relaize that I have to pull the entire Alternate CD down again.

    Wake up this morning and burn the CD, all is well! WRONG

    DVR-710 seems to have gotten confused, scrolls down my screen...

    ARGH!

    Pull the exact same model out of my gaming rig and throw it in (I KNOW this drive works, I use it often)

    set everything back up, away I go!

    DVR-710 seems to have gotten confused, scrolls down my screen...

    WTF! %()%&($*&%@#(*#$)(@#$

    After 5 minutes of cussing out the computer, I try a different IDE cable. Same error message again.

    Is it possible that Pioneer doesnt like Linux and has something in their firmware that refuses to let it work with Linux? I turn to you, the people who know much more then me about Linux, to explain to me why this drive will not work with Linux.

    ok got a bit more info now

    http://www.gatago.com/linux/kernel/9441609.html

    hdb: cdrom_pc_intr: The drive appears confused (ireason = 0x01) is the error message, after that happens the system hangs.

      I have tested both copies of the Burned CD's in multiple systems (A64 3800X2), p3 500 Micron Laptop, and just for grins on a quickly thrown together athlon 1ghz.

      The CD was recognized and booted on all of those systems.

      The DVD drive was tried on both the current rig and swapped with a known good Burner (same model).

        well got it finally working.

        Unsure what was done differently this time, used a program to totally wipe all the drives and then went back in with a freshly burned copy. System up and running now.

          Hi. The same thing happens to me. I have an LG-H10N and a plextor PX-116A and it says that the drive is confused error(ireason=0x01). You have mentioned that you fixed it. Can you tell me how. I am new in this kind of OS. I have a dual boot. What should i do?
          You mentioned a program that you used to wipe all the drives. From Windows you did that?
          Please explain to me. I want so badly to install Kubuntu and I can't cause of this.
