I've seen this same problem on an IDE/ATAPI CDROM. The drive is
made by Hitachi, but I don't have machine in front of me so I don't know
the model number. The motherboard is an Intel Atlantis with a P133.
The problem occurs with both 1.2.13 and 1.3.87 kernels. I haven't yet
tried 1.3.89.
The CD works find on another machine with a different drive, so I know
the CD wasn't the problem.
