Oooh, thanks for the info.  I just updated my kernel to use viaide instead
of pciide and now the system behaves perfectly (I tested by ripping a CD).
Though I got bad behavior from the CD in the first attempt... it's probably
media fault (I switched it and everything was ok) but I'll retry on next
reboot, just to be sure.

Thanks, Jason.
