Too? Was there another patch?

I see

pkt_probe_settings: 00 00 00 ac 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
pkt_probe_settings: pd = edd80ee0, ->mmc3_profile = 0
pkt_writable_disc: pd = edd80ee0, ->mmc3_profile = 0

Thus we get 0 back from pkt_writable_disc(). (This drive is a Yamaha
CRW3200E, at least five years old, but it's a CD-RW so should definitely
support MMC3, I'd have thought.)

That probe result looks really odd. Maybe something's wrong with sg?

(This is an ATAPI device, and I'm using the old IDE layer, not
libata. Maybe I should switch and see if libata works better...)
