Toughbook CF-27 DVD problems

[Dan Hartropp <danhartropp@yahoo.co.uk>]

I am installing Debian 3.0r3 on a Panasonic Toughbook
CF-27. The install of the base system went fine with
both ide-pci and bf2.4 flavours of the kernel, booting
from a removable DVD drive. 

I am having problems with Dselect, however. I can read
the package lists of all the CDs in my set and select
the ones i want, but once i actually try and install
anything, the system hangs with the following message,
repeated continuously...

hdc : packet command error : error=0x51 {DriveReady
SeekComplete Error}
hdc : cdrom_decode_status : error 0x30
hdc : ATAPI reset complete

The DVD drive is a Panasonic CF-VDD271 (detected by
the kernel as a MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8171).

I am able to mount and read the cds fine, the drive
only seems to hang with Dselect and apt.

Is anyone able to help?

Thanks

Dan Hartropp
