There is, a cd-rom drive, at pciide0:0:0.

More details:

when the problem occurs, there are no wd0 or wd1 detected, only
wd2, and it is at pciide1:0:0, just like wd0 is supposed to be.
Then a few seconds later, the kernel tries to read from wd0d
which it thinks is at pciide0:1:0.

I have no idea what's going on. Maybe I'll just have to buy a new
computer. Do you know a good chipset?
