A little while ago I enabled DMA on atapi devices, and while this
generally is a good thing (CPU usage wise), there seems to be
some delicate problems with this on some chipsets and devices.

If you use the new ATA driver and has atapi devices that use DMA
could you please check that they are working correctly (ie try
reading a CDROM two times and compare the results), and mail
me the outcome of that.

Thanks!
