Thanks, I located the message on the linux1394-devel list:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux1394-devel&m=109862922621832&w=2

There is a very good report response to Olaf's little patch.

Please, others, try it as well. I'm going to....

I tried it with up to two different CD-RWs and a HDD on the same FireWire
bus. Works for me. There have been other positive reports on linux1394-user
as well. Quote from Olaf's posting:

| The trouble starts in register_cdrom(), it sets the ->exit() function if
| the CD can do CDC_MRW_W.
| On unregister, it tries to send a packet to the device which is already
| gone.

| How about this patch?

This patch is just a workaround.
ide-scsi shows exactly the same oops. 
ide-scsi was fixed in 2.6.11 or 2.6.12, it should now have proper
refcounting. Someone has to implement the same for the sbp2 driver.
I cant help you with that challenge.
