I have tested this on my Thinkpad T41p with the following hardware:
atapci0: <Intel ICH4 UDMA100 controller> port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6,0x170-0x177,0x376,0x1860-0x186f at device 31.1 on pci0
ata0: <ATA channel 0> on atapci0
ata1: <ATA channel 1> on atapci0
[...]
ad0: 57231MB <HTS726060M9AT00 MH4OA6DA> at ata0-master UDMA100
acd0: CDRW <UJDA755yDVD/CDRW/1.72> at ata1-master UDMA33
With the patched kernel it stops after printing the acd0 line and spews
out the following:
acd0: req=0xc350f8d0 TEST_UNIT_READY semaphore timeout !! DANGER Will Robinson !!
Do you need boot -v output? (I'll have to hook up a serial or firewire
console, that's why I haven't provided it already).
