SATA CDROM/DVD fails to mount CDROM on machine with 4G of memory

RE:http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2008/04/msg00339.html

It isn't fixed in 2.6.25-2-amd64

I don't seem to be getting this into the right hands.. Can someone get 
me the email of the Debian maintainer of sata_nv?  I'm not sure how else 
to report problems with modules - I would be glad to help test it.


I haven't seen any reports since 2.6.25. Are there updated details 
(dmesg output, etc) posted anywhere?

Wonder what I need to back out of lenny to get it to work again?


This was a known sata_nv problem with ATAPI devices and more than 4GB 
of RAM. It should be fixed in 2.6.25.


It isn't fixed in 2.6.25-2-amd64 #1 SMP

This was supposed to be a fix:
