CDROM optimizations? Udev ?

[Kim Lux]

Could I ask some people to run hdparm on their cdroms and report their
findings to the list ?

ie: $/sbin/hdparm /dev/hdc     (typically, some CDROMs might mount
elsewhere.)

We've found some CDROMs are not optimized to use 32 bit access and with
the irq still masked.  This might result in poor performance when using
them as CD Burners or as a ripping source. 

Thanks.
