I have the same problem. The command $hdparm /dev/hdb (hdb is my cdrom drive) reports:
/dev/hdb: IO_support = 1 (32-bit) unmaskirq = 1 (on) using_dma = 0 (off) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) HDIO_GETGEO failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device The only way to make the unit reacting is using the command: $hdparm -w /dev/hdb Can anyone else confirm that rebuilding the kernel with pata_amd solve the problem? Is that problem related to the amd architecture?
