It's probably having problems due to the presence of the CD-ROM.  Just
having an ATAPI device connected using a non-ATAPI aware kernel can
cause lots of problems with the wd driver.  (It always ran *really* slow
for me, and the controller never turned off it's activity light.)

1.2 needs to support ATAPI.
