Hi Alan,

thanks a lot. Disabling all the ATA/ATAPI stuff in the kernel helped. The 
system is reacting better when accessing a dvd. 

My optical drive is named /dev/sr0 now. hdparm shows slow performance, with 
the old config it shows a much better performance. But the reality is 
different. Now it is faster.

Thanx again!

Steffen
