No, it does bother me a bit - although as yet I havn't observed any
unpleasant side effects.
I tried changing the content of /etc/modprobe.d/libata to:
options libata atapi_enabled=0
to see if this was a result of the CD being activated (vs something
else different in my build) but the CD continued to be detected..
This
scsi0 : ata_piix
hda1 hda4 <<4>ATA: abnormal status 0x7F on port 0x14B7
ata2: disabling port
scsi1 : ata_piix
Vendor: MATSHITA Model: DVD-RAM UJ-832S Rev: 1.01
Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 05
hda5 hda6 hda7 hda8 hda9 hda10 hda11 hda12 hda13 hda14 hda15 >
looks a bit like the hda tranfer failed until initialization of
the CD initialization completed, when the partition list completed.
I can't see anything else to indicate that DMA is not being used:
fujitsu:/home/digbyt# grep dma /proc/ide/ide0/hda/settings
using_dma 1 0 1 rw

Can you give me a clue on how to do that? I assume I need to
add entries for unstable to my /etc/apt/sources.list, but
somehow avoid inadvertently mixing testing and unstable packages
in the rest of my system..
