Subject: pata_via problem: soft reseting ata device

Hi

I am using 2.6.23-rc8 and I am noticing a lot of these erors on my system:

[44664.740313] sr0: CDROM (ioctl) error, command: Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00 00

....

I saw this problem first on 2.6.22 when i switched to pata_via driver. My system
is pentium 4 HT, sata disk, ide cdrom. In atachment I am sending kernel config.
I saw similar problems related to suspend, but in my case I get these messsages 
5-15minutes afte startup.

Is there any other information that you might need?

Best regards,
Rok Markovic
