Has anyone gotten the TEAC CD-ROM builtin to work with 4.3? I am upgrading to stable right now, in hopes that will help, but anyone with this laptop who knows what to do to get it working, your help would be greatly appreciated....

From my dmesg: ata0-slave: identify retries exceeded

Mine works great.. acd0: CDROM <TEAC CD-ROM CD-224E> at ata0-slave using PIO4

It doesn't do DMA though - I get errors reading files if I try.

Some people have said that the DVD/CDRW drives don't work unless you sleep for 60 seconds before booting the kernel (ie an autoload delay of 60s)
