The add of irqpool as kernel option in the /boot/grub/menu.lst solved the problem for me too with a LITE-ON LTR CD-RW : - no more "failed to set xfermode" errors when booting (and thus, no more slowing) - the LITE-ON is correctly detected bythe system (available in Gnome CD/DVD writer" tool for example)
