It's probably a timing issue (and might be related to why the old driver
makes the BIOS hang at reboot) but pata_amd should I believe be one of the
best tested pata drivers. Using it myself as well, on amd756. I haven't
observed any problems with (a few) various CD/DVD drives attached and am not
actually sure how to go about debugging the thing -- over to Alan.

The DVD-ROM is jumpered for master? Or for cable-select and using the master
cable-slot? Using an 80-ribbon cable for it?
