It may fix the timeout upon inserting disks, but the drive still fails to burn

Hey, just an FYI, ASUS has released an updated firmware for the GSA-

Apparently CD Crives have Firmware. who knew?
this HP laptop offers a firmware update, but it's not my brand. should

I should also mention that I'm not an Ubuntu user, I'm on Gentoo. this

It's not distro-spcific. probably a kernel issue.

I've got the same problem, same model. this is either a driver problem
or a defect of the cd drive. I don't think I've had any problems like
this in windows, so I'm guessing it's a driver thing. which means this
is a KERNEL issue.
