Bartlomiej is IDE maintainer, Jens is cdrom wizard and you cc'd both the right people. > Jun 17 12:07:49 orclex kernel: ICH6: 100% native mode on irq 18 > Jun 17 12:07:49 orclex kernel: ide0: BM-DMA at 0x5800-0x5807, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA > Jun 17 12:07:49 orclex kernel: ide1: BM-DMA at 0x5808-0x580f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio This seems an unusual setup - the ICH6 is in native mode not legacy as I'd have expected. > Jun 17 12:07:49 orclex kernel: hdb: cdrom_pc_intr: The drive appears confused (ireason = 0x01) > Jun 17 12:07:49 orclex kernel: irq 18: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option.
