My DVD-RW drive (DVD-RW, SATA, Pioneer, AHCI mode) is not recognized with first three boot messages "failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4)" after an new installation of openSUSE 11.4. The problem did not appear for openSUSE 11.3. Workarounds from forums (Ubuntu) did not solve the problem, neither adding the "irqpoll" kernel boot parameter nor a hardware power off. For the second workaround only a first boot results in a recognized DVD drive. After rebooting the same problem appears as described above. The problem may be solved here "https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=107847", but i did not check this for my system.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. (Re)boot system without hardware power off(e.g. un/replugging the power cable)

Actual Results:
DVD drive is not recognized, i.e. is not present in /dev, a CD/DVD cannot be read or written.

Expected Results:
DVD drive should be recognized.

The DVD-RW drive is a Pioneer DVR 216D SATA model. The "desktop" kernel is used.
