Hi,

I'm having _exactly_ the same problem... :-( Mine is a Pioneer DVR-107D, 
firmware v1.18 on a 5.2.1-REL-p11.

dmesg :
cd1 at ata1 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
cd1: <PIONEER DVD-RW  DVR-107D 1.18> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device
cd1: 16.000MB/s transfers. 

I got the same reply from mr. Schilling and I haven't found any solution 
yet... Could it be something with the drives/firmware ?

Beni.
