Well not really that many variables - as the DVD Drives does not work  
with 6.2.0-RELEASE and
they do with Sorens latest changes and was ever only really concerned  
about CURRENT.

But anyhow - I just tested with a 6.2.0-RELEASE SMP kernel and as you  
suspected it works fine
meaning that we back at the fact that CURRENT does have a problem  
(Only tested with GENERIC).

I am going to test with CURRENT and the new USB stack and feedback  
the results - Werner Losh
had experienced  problems that looked the same on a Dell Laptop - so  
maybe its specific to Dell -
I don't really know - but that it works with 6.2 only seems to state  
that it is not inherent
