Just for the record, it was a KDE service daemon that caused these errors for me, like a 24MB log in 12 hours: KDED Media Manager Also trying to remember, I had a CD-RW on /dev/hdc and a CD-R on /dev/hdd. It was /dev/hdd that give those errors, but I only passed the SCSI emulation on kernel line for the CD-RW. So I suppose it uses similar code (of sorts) as HDPARM. I dunno. The old drive was 6 years old anyway - so after I sussed the issue I pretend I did an upgrade ;-) Nick -- "When you're chewing on life's gristle, Don't grumble, Give a whistle..."
