2.4.20 IDE-SCSI / CD-writing crash

I ain't no Linux kernel genius, but I did see this patch on the linux-kernel mailing list. Also rubber-stamp approved by Alan Cox. Do you think it might help you?
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0211.0/0278.html
1st try (running as root from commandline): success 2nd try (running as user, cdrecord invoked from gtoaster):
SCSI host 0 abort .. timed out - resetting
aborting command due to timeout .. test unit ready .. 00 00 00 00 00 aborting command due to timeout .. prevent/allow medium removal 00 00 00 01 00
after a reboot, I get the same problems (1st try success, 2nd try fail, now with with messages from the IDE layer about DMA and "DRQ not asserted yet"). Interesting observations: that I forgot to mention the first e-mail:
* it seems to go wrong happen mostly the 2nd try, I can't recall failing on the first try after bootup,
* when the kernel goes into this reset loop, everything is hanging, e.g. when pressing num-lock from console it takes a few seconds before the indicator led changes

yeah this happens to me under certin combinations of hardware eg dont put a cd write on the same channel as a disk or you seem to run into problems.
The writer is on 2nd IDE channel (hdd), the HD is on the 1st (hda).

you saw 2.4.20 ? i dont think that kernel is out yet.
20-rc1
FWIW, I also tried disabling DMA on the cdrom drive; no-go: at the
3rd burn, the ATAPI resets were all over the place.

Ah, brilliant thinking! I'll see what happens if I make it master.

Plugged cdrom into hdc, switched off DMA on hdc. Managed to burn 3 times without crashing, on the 4th time, I get the "ATAPI reset" slow agonizing death phenomenon again.
