Public bug reported:
With a default install of the current Intrepid kernel on systems with a
HPET, and both a Via SATA and PATA controller, the kernel is unable to
utilise any ATAPI devices attached to the PATA controller.
The kernel logs fill up with the following message every 30 seconds:

After examining the kernel source package, to understand the somewhat
cryptic libata error messages, I realised the problem appears to be
timing related. As older linux kernels worked on this system, I reasoned
that a recent change to the timing system or libata is to blame.
Investigating the timing system first, I appended hpet=disable to the
boot command, forcing use of the PIT. This resulted in the ATAPI devices
being detected and functioning until a dvd was inserted.
This caused a slightly different error message which leads me to believe
my workaround was successful, and that there are several bugs at play
here.
The error message is now:
