Holger: One more gotcha about the workaround:
For a GRUB based system (nevada/S11), at the grub boot screen, "e"dit the default entry, "e"dit the kernel...multiboot line, append -B atapi-cd-dma-enabled=0 This change will only be remembered for the current boot cycle. If you wish to make the change persistant, you need to edit the grub menu.lst file (see bootadm list-menu and friends) after reboot. We had an LX50 with a CD drive that had the same issue and I had to do the workaround and also edit the grub menu.lst file after reboot in order for the change to take effect permanently.
