I had done the kernel updates to -25.1 and .25.2 without even thinking... I was
so happy when the #define ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI was put in, since before that I was
having to compile a custom kernel after installing so that my SATA DVD-BURNER
would wrok. But now with those last two kernel upgrades, my drive has stopped
working as well. Didn't notice until just now when I was about to burn a DVD.
There is quite a big patch from the libata maintaner that I've found for 2.6.11.
 Is there any chance we could get that put together, so this problem won't
continue? Though I'm thinking we'll be waiting until after Hoary for that,
since Hoary is in feature freeze, right?
