Severity: normal

When I use the writing-capabilities (in simulation!), after a while, the 
(simulated) writing process will terminate and my syslog begins to get 
filled with plenty of repeated kernel error messages related to my 
DVD-writer. My DVD-writer, from that time on, is unusable until
the next reboot. The only thing I found to stop kernel error logging is 
to unload the ide_cd_mod module.

Here attached, you will find my setup and what I exactly did to 
produce the problem. Please note that the first DVD-writing attempt did 
NOT trigger the error, thus I guess there is some randomness included. 
But I got the problem each time I tried to write at speed=1 (I guess, 
because the time to terminate the process is longer so more chance to 
trigger the problem).
    
Does this error still occur with more recent kernel versions?
  
Yes, it does. I just aptitude-installed linux-image-2.6.30-1-686, rebooted, and tried wodim -dev=/dev/hdd speed=1 ...iso (some iso file I had on my disk) and after less than one minute, the process stopped and it began filling the syslog again, until rmmod ide_cd_mod.

Please also tell me how to reset ide_cd_mod and my dvd drive after a crash if you know it, so that I do not have to reboot the computer between each try.

Thanks for taking care.
Olivier
