nickc78: How strange, I can't observe any difference with my Acer 4810T running Ubuntu 9.10, kernel 2.6.31-21-generic-pae when I change the SATA mode. The system hangs (appears to be an IRQ conflict) after hitting the hardware eject button. Could you post details about your BIOS, kernel, etc.? I wonder if there are different DVD drive models that affect the outcome.
