Public bug reported:

I bought a brand new pc (AMD Athlon X2 5000+, m/b Asus M2N-SLI, 4GB 800Mhz, 
Asus DRW-2014L1T) and I installed Ubuntu AMD64 on it.
I soon had a problem during installation, cause it didn't recognize the 
DVD-rom; after some researches I booted with the flag "all_generic_ide" and was 
able to install Ubuntu.
But with that option activated the performance of the hard disk was sluggish:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
 Timing cached reads:   1366 MB in  2.00 seconds = 683.07 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:   28 MB in  3.18 seconds =   8.80 MB/sec
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ 

So I removed "all_generic_ide", disk performances now seem fine (or
should I expect better results?):

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo hdparm -i /dev/sda

but whenever I insert a CD/DVD the system *reboots*; no error, no kernel panic, 
it just reboots. If I put "all_generic_ide" then I can read cd/dvs's fine.

Below are the lines in /var/log/messages just before those spontaeous
reboots which happen when I insert a dvd:

I tried to change the SATA cable of the DVD-RW, but with the same
result.

Ask me if you need more logs.

TIA
