PIONEER DVD-RW DVRTD08 is disabled after boot

[mano]

My PIONEER DVD-RW DVRTD08 is disabled if i dont put CD/DVD in my drive before boot. Iam using Ubuntu 9.04.
If my drive is empty, iam recieving this errors:
Starting up...

[17.xxxx] ata2.00: Failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4)

dmesg:

My drive is disabled, so i cant use it at all.

If my drive contain some CD/DVD boot will pass ok.

I was looking at some threats and i found this:

There is my problem too. There is some patch in programming language C. But i dont know how to use it. Also i dont know if its safe.

I have on my new notebook windows vista too. There was problem with drive too. I could read media with drive but i couldnt burn CD/DVD. So i downloaded this driver Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI, in windows was Intel(R) ICH9M/M-E Family 4 Port SATA AHCI Controller - 2929. With these new driver i can burn in win. vista. But i want use ubuntu too...
Btw. my notebook is Sony Vaio VGN-NS21Z.

How about trying setting the irqpoll boot option. I'm not sure what it does but it seems it works with some similar problems.

Hi Adonis Papaderos,
i was trying this before. It isnt change anything. After installation of ubuntu i was thinking thats this is problem with ACPI, so i trying add parameters to kernel like acpi=off, noapic and irqpoll. But this problem is with cd/dvd driver and this isnt helping.

I have exactly the same problem....

[mano (m-nov4k)]

In Ubuntu 9.10 the problem is solved :-). No error message at all, it fixed all problems with my notebook (VAIO VGN-NS21Z) except some 3D effect dont work (like maximizing windows). But it will be probably cause the new kernel version.

Thanks for the reply.
in accord to the reporter's reply I mark as Invalid because we don't know the root of the problem.
