In many cases, it makes sense to _read_ the error message before commenting it.

The message is _not_ related to OPC!

You can do up to 99 OPC calls to a single media.

The person who made the statement on the line above seems to lack any
basic knowlede....

Obviously a buffer underrun.

Possible reasons:

- Bad configuration (IDE cabling)

- in this case it may help to read README.ATAPI

- Bad configuration (SCSI setup)

- In this case check cabling/termination and make sure
all devices to disconnect/reconnect.

- A kernel bug.

- Ask for help from the Kernel crew.
