Hi,

I have investigated this problem further. The hdparm
triggers the error but is not the cause. hdparm accesses
/dev/hdb which is my cd-r drive. This triggers the loading
of the cdrom and ide-cd modules. Manually loading cdrom
succeeds, after which, manually loading ide-cd crashes the
system. No need to even open() the device. This works
fine with the VIA driver from 2.2.19pre14+ide-2.2.18-1221.

Regards,
Shane
