Thanks...

Now I have just realized this:

00:0d.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AIC-7892A U160/m (rev 02)
00:0e.0 SCSI storage controller: Adaptec AHA-2940U2/U2W / 7890/7891 (rev 01)

Device 00:0e.0 is the 2940, which has nothing hung.
Who's to blame ? the bios because is assigns no interupts as no devices are
connected to the bus ? Or the kernel that should understand something like
'this device is disabled' ?

I can try to change the cdrom to the 2940 and see what happens...

Thanks, I will try the patch posted, it looks something like what I said
above, disable the device.
