My shot would be DMA for disk not being activated.
Tell us what the:
Code:
 hdparm /dev/hda
says.

And if necessary, activate DMA with:
Code:
 hdparm -d1 /dev/hda
(assuming that your disk is HDA - the primary master)[/code]

I had the same probelm with yoper and what I did was just gave up and threw away the CD.
