Greetings: I have F8 running on new hardware, and believe the hardware to be good. However, I'm receiveing ATA errors very frequently. This is pointing to my DVD drive, which is the only IDE device in my system; all others ar SATA. I know very little about libata et. al. so I'm looking for any guidance on next troubleshooting steps.
