there is no 'cd' device in the dmesg and disabling it did not help :] disabling 'atapiscsi' also did not help (it's not a pciide device, so not surprising) disabling 'scsibus' does help, but of course all the other drives disappear as well... seems like a magic quirk is wanted dead or alive. -f -- i'm feeling rather blonde today.
