Great, make everyone else wait another three months for a working CD drive. The one off regression appears far less harmful than a revert.
Tejun - instead of backing out important updates for 2.6.24 we should just blacklist that specific drive for now and sort it nicely in 2.6.25, not revert stuff and break everyone elses ATAPI devices.
