DVD-RW writes but doesn't read

Hi Jens et al

I have a laptop DVD-RW that is working fine when burning but has endless streams of errors with any kernel I try when trying to read anything (cd/dvd audio/video/data).

hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: command error: error=0x50
ide: failed opcode was 100
end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 571832
Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 71479

If I'm persistent I can read the data off the drive but I'll probably kill the drive in the process. It doesn't matter what iosched I use but I use cfq by default. I've tried disabling dma and so on without success. Any ideas?
