Comment 23 for bug 182996

Nifriz, that is the exact same bug. And to add to what you said, you probably like me cannot use your CD drive (eject button on drive itself). You can do the following to commands in order to fix the problem.

sudo hdparm -w /dev/hdc
sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/hdc

Replace hdc with whatever drive is causing the problems, in this case this is correct.

And it would be good if someone can check and see if the Linux Kernel bug (top of page) number 9590 is in fact this same bug. It is the closest to this bug, and appears almost identical (including the kernel version it occurs under), but says

hdc: status error: status=0x58 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest }

instead of

hdc: status error: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }

(otherwise it appears exactly the same)
