Ok, I think I have found temporary solution. I have put my Plextor PX-712A slave and my IDE HDD - master. There is a DMA jumper option on the back of my Plextor-PX712A, so I have put jumper on it too. So
IDE HDD jumper position - Master
Plextor PX-712A jumper positions - Slave and DMA.
This solution works for me on Kernel 3.7.6. I have tried it on kernel 3.5.0 - 17 and it doesn't work. So kernel 3.7.6 needed.
Btw, the behavior of the Plextor PX-712A have changed. Not it opens the tray in two steps sometimes, so 1/2 open then 1 sec break and then fully opened.
Hope this information will help somebody. But it will be good if somebody will find permanent solution or fix the kernel.
