Comment 2 for bug 94796

I am having a very similar problem with the Matshita UJ-851S in my Compaq Presario V6110US running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (kernel 2.6.20-16-generic). With no media present in the drive GNOME will mount the drive and either report that a CD containing both data and music has been detected or launch Sound Juicer. Should I switch to any virtual terminal "hda: drive not ready for command" is infinitely echoed to the screen. Resetting the drive with "hdparm -w /dev/hda" provides a temporary solution. Output from dmesg, lspci -vv, and lspci -vvn is attached.
