 I managed to get hold of an MS-DOS environment for running "PS2.EXE
 IDE2 Disable" from IBM [1] on my IBM ThinkPad X31 as adviced in the
 previously mentioned mailing list posts.
 
 After disabling the secondary IDE bus I can no longer reproduce the
 problem described here. Disabling the seconday IDE bus will, however,
 also make it impossible to use a secondary HDD or CDROM drive in an
 UltraBay docking station, so this is not an optimal solution - only a
 work-around.
 
 Footnote: this problem doesn't exist with other operating systems such
 as GNU/Linux, which indicates that it is a problem that can be solved
 in software.
