Both the HDD and DVD are on my SIIG 133 controller. It reports the HDD at UDMA 5 and the DVD at UDMA 4. Both drives are using 80 pin cables.

Is the thinking here that a disc will burn successfully (with errors) and the OS can do reliable error correction; but as a boot-disc it is not suitable? (This could explain the image check-sum error when trying to load the gentoo install)

The SIIG controller is using most recent driver. I tried updating the DVD driver with SHW-160H6S updater but it reported that the drive was not the correct model. Searching for an driver for the 6S160H model yielded no results...

Does anyone have a noose they can spare?
