I have a repeatable problem playing music CDs with kernel 2.6.8.1 and
2.6.10.

Running "gnome-cd" to play a CD, the drive and IDE bus flash a few times
for about 15 seconds, and then the IDE bus light goes solid.

gnome-cd is hung in the driver.

/var/log/messages shows the following lines:

Dec 25 16:58:57 daydream kernel: ide-cd: cmd 0x47 timed out
Dec 25 16:59:57 daydream kernel: ide-cd: cmd 0x47 timed out
Dec 25 17:00:56 daydream kernel: ide-cd: cmd 0x47 timed out

...and so on.  It repeats every minute.

Only a reboot will fix things.

I've searched for this kernel message in various places and didn't get
any hits, and the problem didn't exist at some point in the past in
the 2.6.x kernel releases.  I have not played a CD for several kernel
revisions, so I don't know at what point this started happening.

I am reasonably certain kernel 2.4.x doesn't have this problem, and
could verify that if someone thinks that is necessary.

Is this a known problem, or is this something I should dig deeper into?

I'm attaching my .config.  The system is an Athlon64 system, Asus K8V-X
motherboard, SATA and sound disabled, nothing special.
