I have been away a few days - I'll try this weekend rebuilding
 older kernels (I save religiously my .configs for every kernel
 I built in the last, um, five years at least) and give the reboot/
 DVD mount/access sequence a go...

The good news is that in 2.6.26-git4, -git9, -git10 I have been
 unable to reproduce the issue a single time. Still, I'm willing
 to make a bit more effort in trying to reproduce.
