The printk comes from /usr/src/linux/drivers/block/ide-cd.c (2.2.10)
static void cdrom_seek_intr (ide_drive_t *drive)
{
struct cdrom_info *info = drive->driver_data;
int stat;
static int retry = 10;
if (cdrom_decode_status (drive, 0, &stat))
return;
CDROM_CONFIG_FLAGS(drive)->seeking = 1;
if (retry && jiffies - info->start_seek > IDECD_SEEK_TIMER) {
if (--retry == 0) {
printk ("%s: disabled DSC seek overlap\n", drive->name)
drive->dsc_overlap = 0;
}
}
}
I would take a guess, (note the guess), its an interrupt problem.
Or the drive is not mounted, (thats a real guess).
HDE that would indicate the fiifth hard drive. Without more
information, ie kernel version disro hardware configuration, it would
be very hard to give a decent answer.

If everything works as you expect it to, then i for wone would not
lose any sleep over it.
