I'm just about to try to reproduce a panic along the same lines.  My
laptop has two ide channels with the hard drive on one and the DVD+R
drive on the other.  With yesterday's cvsup, it somehow finds a
phantom ad3 _only_ if the DVD+R is in it's bay.  With the DVD+R
removed, the system is still functional (luckily).

More info to follow as I get a kernel with debugging symbols in it.

Dave.
